Does anyone have any comments about whether we should remove example.com from the test set? Justin makes a valid point that it could block messages with example URIs. I'm leaning towards taking it out.
If we do, anyone using example.com in their test URIs should change to test.surbl.org or test.(zone).surbl.org.
I'd suggest something longer and less likely to FP.
We deliberately chose shorter names to to get closer to the number of levels in actual spam domains. That may have been a slight misstep....
I could imagine an (internal) HTTP server being called "test", and web developer A mailing web developer B asking them to try it out. ;)
But at least we control the surbl.org domain and could try to remember not to use "test" as a host name or real subdomain. The same cannot be said of how anyone else chooses to use example.com or any other potentially real domain.
Any more comments on removing example.com from the test points?
This would affect the test suites of Eric and others.
