 While using the ReducedExitPolicy and

     ExitRelay 1
     IPv6Exit 1

 I occasional get these warnings in my log file:

 Dec 06 07:27:56.000 [warn] Malformed IP "???" in address pattern;
 rejecting.
 Dec 06 07:27:56.000 [warn] Couldn't parse line "[???]:*". Dropping
 Dec 06 07:27:56.000 [warn] Malformed policy 'reject [???]:*'. Discarding
 entire policy list.
 Dec 06 07:27:56.000 [warn] append_exit_policy_string(): Bug: Unable to
 parse internally generated policy reject [???]:* (on Tor 0.2.7.5 )

 No problems seen with v0.2.6.10 while using the same config file.

 I'm setting the Priority and Severity here to moderate settings, because I
 don't know if the warnings are anything more than clutter.  If the
 complaints are indicating a problem that hinders the relay as an exit
 node, then the urgency should be bumped up.
