That's two votes for a 127.0.0.2 (as 2.0.0.127.<queryroot>) testpoint,

suggested _not_ using "example.com" (eg: example.com.sc.surbl.org)

For my own curiousity, I'll ask why Justin said example.com was bad.
These lists are used to detect URIs appearing in the message 
body.  example.com is a domain reserved for examples and can appear in ham.

Exactly.

I feel so ... dumb ;-)  127.0.0.2 will have similar problems.  The thing 
to choose would preferably be something that's not resolveable, and is 
unlikely to ever be used in a real link.  SURBL has something like 
"this-is-not-likely-to-ever-appear.<queryroot>".  Perhaps the BCP should 
  simply give suggestions on how to invent a test string rather than 
mandating a specific one.  Or punt.
