I'm not really sure what is going on here... but I've got perfectly valid non-spam email coming into our Plesk server. However, when it is forwarded it is rejected before being sent.
@danami any idea how this can be please?

The email is going [email protected] --> [email protected] (which is a forwarding list) to multiple [email protected] addresses. Each of these [email protected] addresses forward to other external email addresses.

I already got a related problem. Send a forwarded email to Learn and Test DMARC this tool will show you if you have any DNS problem.

@Alex Presland Enable verbose mode in Amavis so that you can see what rules are being matched:

Also it looks like your server wide policy spam level is set to 5 which might be too aggressive.
