Hi Gabriel,

Your message was sent to the SPF webmaster list; I have redirected it to the SPF Help list. Responders, please follow up there, and cc Gabriel's e-mail.

If you are asking about how to figure out what IPs Google uses to send mail, you should reference their SPF record, _spf.google.com, and then they can change IPs whenever they want.
