ACTUAL RESULT

the email was not blocked

email copy

EXPECTED RESULT

the email should be blocked because SPF softfail and the sender is not permitted sender

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I added more restrictions in the postfix config but it didn't help much

# SMTP recipient restrictions
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks,
permit_sasl_authenticated,
reject_unauth_destination,
reject_authenticated_sender_login_mismatch,
reject_invalid_hostname,
reject_non_fqdn_hostname,
reject_non_fqdn_sender,
reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
reject_unknown_sender_domain,
reject_unknown_recipient_domain,
reject_unlisted_recipient,
permit

YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM PLESK SERVICE TEAM

Help with sorting out
 
Set the SPF checking mode to "Reject mail if SPF resolves to “softfail" if you want your server to reject incoming emails on which the SPF check softfails.
