Why don't you just NOT run a freaking EXIT NODE, if you are "new to tor and
learning"? Bittorrent can run over the tor network, also Child Pornography can
run over the tor network, can you afford spending time on legal issues like
this[1] ?

I'd say disable the Exit functionality immediately and only open it cautiously
much later on, for the ports that you KNOW won't get you in trouble, or will
get you in the kinds of trouble you are prepared to deal with.
