Cause

The Plesk server's IP address got blacklisted on the recipient side.

A free online MXToolbox blacklist checker may report that the IP address is listed in Real-time blacklists or DNS blacklists (RBL, DNSBL).
Additionally, the recipient's mail server can have its own blacklisting service as a part of anti-spam solutions installed.
