Yeah, I think it should be example.com. I think it should be the same
type of lookup that you would normally do. I think if you make the
test lookup an IP, you will confuse novices into doing IP-based checks
by accident.

Somebody should nudge folks from SURBL or URIBL to join us here for
their take, or maybe reach out to them if you know them well.

Best,
