• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

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

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.
