With spamdyke, you probably won't need to block specific IPs. These
addresses most likely will have something else about them (missing or
unresolvable rDNS for example) that will cause them to be blocked. You
shouldn't need to tweak the spamdyke configuration much at all.
That being said, to answer your question, in the "stock" configuration
(generated by qtp-install-spamdyke), there are several configuration
files in /etc/spamdyke/. One of these is a file named blacklist-ip,
which simply contains a list of IP addresses you want to block. There
are also blacklist_keywords, blacklist_rdns, blacklist_recipients and
blacklist_senders files. You should read through the spamdyke
documentation (at http://spamdyke.org) before adjusting any of the
configuration settings.

You can use iptables if you like, but spamdyke can do this as well, in
addition to so many other things.
Do you have a reason for not using spamdyke? It's trivial to install,
using the qtp-install-spamdyke script.
I strongly recommend using spamdyke. It's really "the bomb".
