You need to configure spam filtering

I have antispam installed and can choose to block senders. The mails are from so many different addresses (see image above) that trying to add each one won't work (i have tried *@*.hinet.net for example and the catchall is not allowed.) I need to find what pc is spamming first and foremost...I need to find the IP of the device that is sending these mails to be queued in Exchange.....

It only gives me IP of Exchange Server and Firewall.
then your firewall work as a reverse proxy for your exchange server and all inbound connections to your exchange server end up on your firewall

Can you explain that a little more please ?

but be aware not to cut out all the mails as by authenticating you want to filter only the mail coming from your LAN to the internet not vice versa. otherwise no email will come to your domain users
