[tor-relays] Exit relay is apparently being used to attack other servers

[James Moore]

I experienced the same thing with LInode and decided to take down my relay
and move it to SolarVPS. Multiple exchanges with Linode support led me to
believe they didn't understand how tor worked or they were covering their
ass. I had previously let them know I was running an exit and they
responded by thanking me for the head's up.
