Clients build preemptive circuits to Exit-flagged relays. When a client has an available circuit for exiting, it will use that circuit. The Exit policy means "allows exiting to these ports". If a client doesn't have a circuit to an exit that supports the port it wants, it randomly chooses an exit that allows that port. So you may see a small amount of traffic over those ports. T
