When Spamhaus says, "I fixed the logic", could it be clarified whether they see running a Tor relay or exit node as something they are more likely to put in their DNSBLs? I ask because, as a hoster, we do not currently disallow Tor relays and exit nodes. In fact in the case of the exit nodes, normally our insistence that the customer answer all abuse mails within 48h is enough to make them soon choose not to be an exit node any more, and of course we do not allow them to relay port 25 or 22. But if Spamhaus is going to start listing IPs for being associated with Tor that might cause us to re-evaluate our policies. I would be sad if that happened: it doesn't seem to make any sense to do anything with relays ( by definition Tor traffic doesn't come out of a relay). As for exit nodes, there are already multiple DNSBLs that list Tor exist nodes so I question the value of merging that into other existing DNSBLs.
