The default port for this according to the Messaging Server release notes is now 8990 for HTTP and 8991 for HTTPS
Changing the port 80 list to 8990 would help to mitigate any possible confusion by a reader as their brain should either go '8990 - got it' or '8990? what?!? oh yeah, I get it'

Is this a different port than the IM Server port number? Does this appear in the init-config panels, or is it configured somewhere else?
