You can exit to one of (80,443) to at least a /8 to receive it.. So if you add an allow 443 on a not so populated /8, it will get the exit flag.. :-)

After careful consideration and previous direct feedback from this list, I configured an exit node with the following exit policy, which allows traffic on ports that are “safe” in my opinion, meaning that they’re not likely to generate complaints or search warrants.

I would not open any of the web, email, irc, remote desktop, ssh, etc. ports on an exit node based at home as those would generate complaints and/or search warrants very quickly, so I am open to discussion about modifying the groupthink behind this blanket “don’t run an exit node at home” advice.
