[tor-relays] New Exit-Relay / First abuse issues

Hey all,

the second abuse ticket reached Contabo yesterday about my service.
They now threaten to take down the server when the next ticket arrives so I had to shutdown the Exit Relay (I will reconfigure it as normal relay tomorrow).
I requested to have a phone call with the Contabo Abuse department to figure out a solution because Germany now provides the legal grounds to operate a tor relay with (little to) no liability.

If I find a solution with Contabo I'll keep you updated.
