Someone likely abused a webmail provider. Respond to them that SMTP isn’t available from your exit and they’ll have to contact the email service provider directly. Cordially, Nathaniel Suchy

I wasn't sure what to remove from the abuse message so I removed all the domains to protect the owners of these hosts/addresses, I hope I didn't miss any.
My question, what did I miss in in the exit policy, I have used the following in the torrc. Maybe I did not miss anything at all. Thanks for helping me to understand how the spammer could use the the exit for spamming.

My question, what did I miss in in the exit policy, I have used the following in the torrc. Maybe I did not miss anything at all. Thanks for helping me to understand how the spammer could use the the exit for spamming.
Emails and spam can be send via for example: - webmail (frequently port 80/443) - 465/587 (not just port 25) -- https://twitter.com/nusenu_ https://mastodon.social/@nusenu
* ylms:
smtp:>>smtp.efg.es,587,test@efg.es,123456>> [...] ExitPolicy accept *:587
You allow TCP port 587 (submission). That should not be a problem unless the targeted server fails to enforce authentication for all email submitted via this port. If that is the case, it is a configuration error on the destination server. -Ralph
Hello all, I bundle the reply to all three helpful replies in this email. Basically the replies confirm my assumptions, I was wondering if there is single malconfiguration on my end or if the problem is a little more complex. I will watch the abuse complaints and if there will be more about spam I will see what I can do. This abuse ticket was part of a bundle of complaints (many abuse complaints), most of them SSH bruteforce and WordPress "hacking" attempts. So I relied with my standard reply as I always do, it is generic and explains that the server is a Tor exit and I offer to block their ip in the email. Not sure what my provider does with that reply, but I never hear back from any people. Thanks again for the help. Regards yl Replies, just for reference: 1.
