Yes, unfortunately you get this SPAM abuse, although it is clear that the mail was submitted via a webmailer :-( > Sometimes I think "is my FreeBSD exploited and being used to send spam", > but then I also see Linux relays on other ISPs also on the blocklists. It's actually very unlikely that a longer running exit can send mails. ;-) I can't even send myself log mails from my exit IP's because all IP's are blacklisted.

If possible, try to get an ARIN SWIP record: https://blog.torproject.org/tips-running-exit-node/ 5. Get ARIN registration 99% of the abuse is f*cking auto-generated stuff from tools like fail2ban.

As I've mentioned here before, IPv6 only relays are important. An AS with IPv6/48 is affordable. Then it's much easier to set up your own bulletproof ISP. -- ╰_╯ Ciao Marco!
