Thanks Frank,
In principle, this shouldn't be an issue since SURBLs should only
used on message bodies and not headers*, but perhaps we should
change to 2,4,8 to be safe and like other RBLs.

* If 127.0.0.1 appeared on a regular message-header-parsing RBL,
then I could see how that could potentially break things since
the loopback address can show up as a hop in mail processing.
(Numeric RBLs often start at .2 probably for that reason.)

Does anyone have any additional comments on this question?

Jeff C.
