Unless I'm missing something obvious, it seems impossible to divine the
origination IP address from gmail-sourced e-mail headers. The first IP (the
last header) has 10.*.*.* form and is of course internal to google.
This is not the case with any other e-mail service I know of (mixmaster
excluded), the real originating IP is always included.
So the recipient of gmail message has no way of determining what the sender's
real IP is.
