Furthermore, this relay is also advertising itself as an exit node, and the
network thinks that it can be used as one:
https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/541D0AEF5BCA6F2D6285FEC2CF8E87AE9F8771A6(note
the exit policy and the Exit flag.)

Since the intention (as i understand) is not to have it be an actual exit
node, better to have this in the torrc:

ExitPolicy reject *:*
