[tor-relays] Leaseweb exit relay notice

The lists of SECTOOR might be used wrongly but they sound like they
belong to the ever growing list of 'shitty blacklists'. In my work for
a hosting company I receive complaints regarding malpractices of such
lists on a daily basis. For example there are lists who blacklist
whole IP ranges based on generic rDNS (hello Spamrats Dyna). Being a
company that sets rDNS to [IP-ADDRESS].companyname.tld for all
non-used IP addresses you are basically fucked.

Most of these blacklists are actually used by parties who probably
started using them when these lists were not vigilante-like.

Hooray for shitty blacklists...
