Depends on how you block it.

My mail server is configured to do a lookup on the sending hostname and IP in various blacklists, also checks various anti-spam features like SPF and DKIM records.

If anything triggers the "this is spam" the sending mail server is told "hey, this message was rejected for delivery..." and that is all they know.

If you are marking it as Spam in your mail client, that is training your mail client filters, so that is all local-to-you and the sending service doesn't know anything about it.
