Let's not confuse two things, here. The customer wanting to host a Tor exit relay is a different service request than wanting to run a wide-open SMTP relay. No reputable ISP would agree to host an open SMTP relay and I'm sure this one did not knowingly do so. It would be unfortunate

Assuming the Tor service is running on a dedicated host, you could use an SNMP-aware switch and query it with Cacti for graphs on the switchports, or maybe run an snmpd on the node and use Cacti to build graphs against the node's ethernet card stats. http://www.cacti.net . It can also
