The only reply ever required is a form letter stating this is a Tor
exit, here's a link to how to block tor exits if that's what you want.

Our standard response is:

Hello,

The source address 128.31.0.13 is a Tor exit node, and is not the origin point for the traffic in question. See http://tor-exit.csail.mit.edu (which is the host in your logs) for details. Any action taken on this node would simply result in the problem traffic using a different exit.

For further information please read http://tor-exit.csail.mit.edu/ the bottom of this page includes information on how to block all Tor exits should you wish to do so (including links to get a list of all current Tor exits).

Sincerely,
The Infrastructure Group
MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory

Very few people enguage in further discussion (like <1 per year).
