I suggested test instead of dnsbl.test as it's less likely to be 
parsed as a URL.  It's better to avoid the underscore as well as it 
can always be registered as a service name in future. Nowadays, a 
scanner doesn't only identify parts with a http:// as it's common to 
see links such as www.example.com or www.example which rely on MUA 
and browser behavior to get to the site with a click.
