Something I might not have mentioned before, but seems relevant:

My Tor node runs a medium-load mail server as well, and I've never been
blacklisted for spam stuff [1].  That seems like a decent indication of it
not causing problems given how rabid the anti-spam people can get.

1: I've gotten blacklisted twice by SORBS for "virus" activities, which
were people using IRC (for bad things, I assume) via my node.  That
doesn't count.
