blocking phishing emails from Google Workspace

I was asked how an institution could block some phishing emails, which had the name of the current Vice-Chancellor in the "From" field, with some random gmail id. Excerpts from my reply:

1. Report phishing - You could ask the user to follow these steps -

2. From admin.google.com , blocking this particular email - 
You can set up rules using the method at

For example, you could put in a filter so that any email which has
  • simple content search NameOfVC in headers
  • AND is from @gmail.com
  • should be blocked
