Thanks. I have added them to the exit policy.

Help translate Vidalia info pages

[Runa A. Sandvik]

Hi everyone,

I have created a new project in the translation portal called "Vidalia
Help": https://translation.torproject.org/projects/vidaliahelp/. It
would be great to see these pages translated into more languages.

I have already added a few languages, such as Norwegian, German and
French.Please send an email to tor-translat...@torproject.org if your
language is missing.

Thanks,

Interestingly, I was contacted by the police at some university a couple
of years ago about abuse through my Tor node on port 587 (authenticated
SMTP).  After a ton of explaining what Tor was (at first they believed the
abuser to be a client of mine because his bits were coming from my
machine), it turned out that they had a severely busted submission port:
it was the same as port 25 (so, accepted unauthenticated email from the
world).  The person they were investigating had used this to send email
via Tor to an address there.

I finally explained to them that their damaged configuration was letting
spam through, and they stopped bothering me.  Ah well.

I'd suggest adding that port to the mix, since it should be authenticated
and TLSed (despite the occasional evidence otherwise).

Please get back to us in a week or so with info on your abuse
complaint rate with the new policy. I'll update
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tips-running-exit-node-minimal-harassment
with the policy if it does in fact drastically reduce your abuse
complaint raint.

(Though I suspect the SWIP will also help greatly. I am beginning to
believe that these abuse-bot companies deliberately pick on new
hosters who do not have their own IP allocation specified to bully
them off the net).

Thunderbird does do DNS leaks but I'm not sure about the actual
data (ie
your IP address) it sends. You should run this in TorVM (or
whichever VM
is current) or something to protect your privacy if you insist on
using
thunderbird.
