[tor-relays] Tor exit node companion

Hi guys,

I had a thought about writing a small Tor exit node companion app.

This would be a single executable that does 2 things:

   - Serve HTTP port 80 traffic on a specific host name and show the
   standard Tor web page for exit nodes
   - Serve port 25 (SMTP) and forwards abuse at mydomain.com to an address of
   your choosing

Bonus points would be to make sure the HTTP requests serve the latest
version of the Tor disclaimer page (so it will automatically take the
latest and periodically check that its the latest). It will then replace
the various parts (email of the operator etc).

I can write it in Go so that its a single rather small executable so that
the exit node will only need to run it instead of web server (nginx or
something lighter) and an SMTP server (for those pesky automated posts
that, like in the case of webiron, are also sent to abuse at mydomain.com based
on the reserve DNS).

Do you think it would be useful? I would sure be happy to run as little
processes as possible.

Eran
