I have just received two abuse messages from ISP Scaleway Elements for two of my middle nodes. Until now I thought this was not possible.
No problem for me. Only here for your information.

This happened to me a while ago, even though there was no exit traffic from the long-term relay.
Roger mentioned that sometimes the suspicious are confusing ingress and egress traffic. Sounds idiotic, but that would speak to the state of the sysadmin craft today.
I do think it's worth asking them if they're sure it's incoming and not someone connecting *from* their network.

I get periodic abuse complaints to my directory authority, from people who think I am attacking them, when really what they are seeing is connections from *their* users to *my* Tor relay.
Their crappy firewall software interprets the "syn ack" from my server as being an outgoing connection attempt to them, and so they think they need to complain to my hoster.

Yeah that was me. I changed the ports of the relays in question to 443 and 80. Then there was silence. ;-) Deeply confused ISP Masergy didn't reply to an email from me.

I agree with you sir. Sysadmins are watching logs all the time, but if they see 80 and 443 they will close their eyes. If your 80/443 is already in use on your machine, then try 143/993(imap), 110/995(pop3), etc...
