Should I enable Zen RBL on my CPanel server?

I was going to enable this RBL when I read the following text on this URL: http://www.spamhaus.org/zen/ ".. do not use ZEN on smarthosts or SMTP AUTH outbound servers for your own customers (or you risk blocking your own customers)" What do you think?

Well, there is not a real answer whether you should enabled it or keep it disabled. By enabling it you are risking of blocking SMTP outbound servers. I personally would recommend keeping it disabled to prevent having any issues with SMTP.

You can safely enable Zen RBL on cPanel server. When you are relaying all outbound mails to another server, which is not a typical cPanel server setup.
