[tor-relays] non-encrypted connections from Tor exit relays

[kirgali at riseup.net]

hi, generalized question about Tor exit relays and exit relay operators.
do some exit relay operators have a policy to prevent connections
leaving their exit node via non-encrypted ports (e.g. port 25)?

this could be a philosophical position - not even wanting to be in a
position to observe users' data passing through the exit node in clear
text. or a pragmatic position - hoping that encrypted connections
provide some level (even very weak) of plausible deniability in the
event that a connection attracts the attention of law enforcement. this
is just my thoughts.
