Thanks

My exit, still badexit, is  51AE5656C81CD417479253A6363A123A007A2233  and I
did get an email which I missed, as it is simply failing to exit, Implying
my ISP was doing something before they told me.  Seems to be exiting from my
local port now.

So long as the Directory Authorities assign it.

It depends on the reason for badexiting.

It could be a DNS thing, I am not sure. I recently pushed a commit that
leads to some exits getting that flag. I tried to contact all the relay
operators beforehand (some did not have any ContactInfo set) but I got
almost no reply back. For details see [1].

What's the fingerprint of your relay that got the badexit flag?
