No. $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’] is the actual physical IP address the client used to connect to the webserver, as confirmed by a three-way TCP handshake. There’s no way to fake this by setting simple HTTP headers. “The actual IP address of the user” is the address your webserver received the connection from, period.

When a sender spoofs an email address, they appear to be a user in one of your organization’s domains, or a user in an external domain that sends email to your organization.
