When you need the literal IP addresses for Google Apps mail servers, start by using one of the common DNS lookup commands (nslookup
, dig
, host
) to retrieve the SPF records for the domain _spf.google.com, like so:
nslookup -q=TXT _spf.google.com 8.8.8.8
This returns a list of the domains included in Google's SPF record, such as:
_netblocks.google.com, _netblocks2.google.com, _netblocks3.google.com
Now look up the DNS records associated with those domains, one at a time, like so:
nslookup -q=TXT _netblocks.google.com 8.8.8.8
nslookup -q=TXT _netblocks2.google.com 8.8.8.8
nslookup -q=TXT _netblocks3.google.com 8.8.8.8
The results of these commands contain the current range of addresses.
