How do you figure that? All abuse reports I have seen so far were sent
to the abuse contact specified for the exit's IP address. Why would
anybody send complaints directly to the Tor exit, if the exit offered
SMTP service? Nobody seems to even bother reading the information
provided on the Tor DirPort before reaching out to the abuse contact.
