Misleading text "Tor blocks some outgoing mail and file sharing applications by default to reduce spam and other abuse"

In Vidalia's exit policy window, it says

"Tor blocks some outgoing mail and file sharing applications by default to reduce spam and other abuse".

The original goal here was to explain to relay operators that they couldn't actually set accept : via that interface, even if they want to.

#2529 (closed) points out a user who misinterpreted it as "Tor automatically blocks connections that will get you abuse reports".

How about we just remove the text? The downside of missing the text is that some users might think they're allowing exits to ports that we don't want them to allow. The upside of missing the text is fewer confused users, and a simpler interface.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
