I had the former exit node unlocked an ran it in relay mode for a day.
Today I switched back to exit mode, and a few hours after the exit flag
was reassigned, I already received the next complaint about an outgoing
network scan. The logs sent to me clearly confirm scans taking place,
this is not about the hoster being obstinate.

Looks like I will have to shut down this particular exit for good if
I cannot find a way to prevent it from being abused as network scan
central. :-(
