nmap shows port 21 to be open

I ran the command

nmap localhost

on my Linux Ubuntu machine and got the following output

Other addresses for localhost (not scanned): ::1
rDNS record for 127.0.0.1: localhost.localdomain
Not shown: 983 closed ports
PORT     STATE SERVICE
21/tcp   open  ftp
22/tcp   open  ssh
25/tcp   open  smtp

I see that port 21 used by ftp and port 783 used by spamassain is open. FTP is unsecure and I wonder why the port is showing to be open. Normally I banned ftp per Plesk and only allowed there fdps. Spamassain grants itselve bin/bash rights. Thats why i see this also with an critical eye. How can I close these open ports?
