Hi,
Thanks for going through the trouble of running an exit relay!

Today, few weeks from last incident, they just pulled out ethernet cable from my VPS and I am not sure what to do.
Looks like this ISP is not suitable for Tor exit relays. Please add it to the https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/GoodBadISPs page, and find a better one. I'm afraid there's not much else you can do. Make sure to inform the ISP beforehand about the risks, be fast and polite in answering abuse complaints, and as long as the ISP doesn't know you well enough make sure the ISP of all places understands how you handled the complaint and why. For example, for the POP3 case, you could have offered to block POP3 altogether.
In case you haven't seen it already, this is a must-read for exit operators: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorExitGuidelines
