<div class="">I run an exit node, and as such, I get abuse emails like this from time<br class="">

to time:<br class="">

<br class="">

Mostly I ignore them, but since their automated report contains the<br class="">

sentence "Please feel free to send us your comments or responses.",<br class="">

every so often I send something to complain about their practices. To my<br class="">

surprise, apparently somebody does actually read these because today I<br class="">

got a reply.<br class="">

<br class="">

I'm not reproducing the entire response here without permission (they<br class="">

seem kinda touchy), but the person that replied did mention that they<br class="">

have some kind of rbl "in beta" regarding tor exits. They seemed to<br class="">

imply that doing so was quite a burden on them, though, which I don't<br class="">

really understand (IME blocking tor exits is easy; intentionally so).<br class="">

<br class="">

I'm trying to keep the conversation going, but I was wondering if anyone<br class="">

from the tor project has tried to reach out to them in some kind of<br class="">

official way? I'm just some random guy, so I don't know if it would be<br class="">

preferable for someone more knowledgeable, or with more access to tor<br class="">

infrastructure, to be conversing with them. (e.g. teor)<br class="">

<br class="">

I assume some people will say this isn't even worth the effort; it's not<br class="">

like it's hard to just ignore those reports. But it doesn't take much<br class="">

effort to just try to talk ot them, and it perhaps helps to give tor a<br class="">

reputation of cooperation and helpfulness.<br class="">
