Potential Security Issue: MEXMPPS.EXE incorrectly running on port 1080

No reason the MEXMPPS service should be listening on port 1080. This is a potential security issue.

I've noticed the exact same thing when I got blacklisted on Spamhaus 2 times consecutively. After all it turned out to be an open port issue that has caused us to marked as spammer.
And the interesting thing is, I could not find any settings for MailEnable Chat Server and ALSO there is no "MailEnable Chat Server" section in the Diagnosis page on MailEnable control panel. I'm using version 9.87 Enterprise edition and I could not even be sure about if it's a legit MailEnable server o a malware! So the best thing was to completely shut off and delete the service from Windows Services.
This is insane, they stole my 3 days working hard trying to figure out why the hell I got blacklisted!
