How do I find the application on my network that's dropping packets?

Just had a fundamental doubt. In my network, the firewall is being sent packets to the SMTP port. I have blocked the port and am logging the dropped packets. I can see a certain PC which has been sending the packets. On network monitoring, we did not find the source port on the rouge PC. How do I find the application / service which is trying to send the packet to the firewall? Where should we run the packet filter tool?
