How to block spam email that is spoofed to appear as if it originated from my own email address?

For the most part, I send/receive Comcast email using the stock email client on my Samsung S9 mobile phone. Generally, when I receive a spam email, I utilize my email clients 'mark as spam' function. However, increasingly, the emails (from) address is spoofed to appear as if it originated from my own address. So, if I were to  select the 'mark as spam', I would be blocking my own address. How do I permanently stop this spoofing? When I utilize my PC/Thunderbird email client and I choose 'view message source' I can see 'return path/envelope-from' that shows what appears to be the true spammer email address. I imagine that I could then take that email address and utilize Comcast webmail to add that spam (?) but that doesn't seem practical in a mobile world. Any tips? Thanks in advance.

I can see how that can be a bit frustrating. I am sorry to hear you are being spoof. Have you checked the email filters so that you can have those emails moved from your inbox? I do this with my own email so that I do not miss important emails and I can have emails from those I do not wish to have contact with moved without having to do much. I set up the rules with the help of the link: https://comca.st/3mVaMYE;
