That is a message from the server, not Thunderbird. You may need to talk to your email provider.

Has your email address been blocked?

Check the content of the message. Check the Subject. Are you including a link or attachment ?

Does your Anti-Virus/ Anti-spam product append anything to your outgoing emails?

Are you trying to Reply or Forward a message that was already marked as SPAM even if you think it isn't actually spam?
