The original wording would appear to be correct and mean precisely what it
says.

The meaning of those two seem to be quite different:
'abusable' - is open to or available for abuse.
'abusing' - is abusing something.

Agreed, the original text is correct in both meaning and use of the English
language. (abusable is an adjective form of abuse in the dictionary)
The proposed revision conveys a different, and incorrect meaning. It also seems
awkwardly worded, I tend to see "an abusive" used more than "an abusing".
However, the big issue is the meaning. SORBS WEB listing does not necessarily
mean that the server is originating abuse or being abused. It indicates the
server is vulnerable to being abused by spammers. Hence it is abusable, not
abusing or abusive (or even abused).
