Not nice, but better then to lose the complete exit node. Big
nodes with their own reassigned IP should of course do otherwise
and just move the valuehost abuse spam to /dev/null.

Example? In Germany you might (or might not) be responsible for
traffic you relay. But not relaying part of the traffic doesn't
change a thing, legally.
