Question Analysing Sender IP in Mail Headers

Change Maker

Basic Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
Version 18.0.60 Update #1
I'm looking to find out how to correctly analyse who is sending email spam using the Mail Headers.

I get torn between blocking the correct IP that sends this stuff that's detected on my server, and/or adding the email address to the Spam Blacklist on the Server.

I realise that Phishing is going on and that there is no point in blocking the wrong email or IP if it's used for Spoofing, so can anyone throw some light on this please?
Thanks
