I believe in such case you are supposed to reply to your provider, usually to
indicate that the problem the abuse report relates to "has been dealt with" and
will not repeat. In case of a Tor Exit you cannot guarantee that, aside from
removing port 22 from your exit policy.

There was a mini discussion recently on that, with the general consensus
seeming to be that keeping it open is more trouble than it's worth.
