Hi Florentin,
Read the policy of your hoster. I had the same situation and already configured a reduced exit policy. So I just changed my exit policy. Now I do not relay to their entire IP block on port 80 anymore. So it can't happen again......
My hoster was fine with that. Along with this I sent an explenation that I am not the only Exit node and how to easily block all exit nodes. (The default text from the tor project website)
I had the luck that the employee agreed that Tor's value to society makes the abuse acceptable.
When I was first setting up Tor back in the day, I gave an explanation to my ISP (Cable ONE) and experimentally ran an exit node from home. If memory serves, within three days they got a DMCA notice whereupon they cut me off at the knees. I quickly learned that help desks aren't, and that Cable ONE perforce did not want to deal with the legal overhead or hear about the elections in Iran. They have a three-strikes policy, so nowadays I proselytize Tor, read the fine print, and encourage others to do the same.
