Google inspects Received headers and checks SPF for each ignoring those showing an RFC-1918 address, any of which failing means a pretty good chance the message will be given the SPAM tag, i.e., SPF is checked not just for the connected peer. So a message originated at 192.168.1.101 and relayed via 192.0.0.x with SPF saying that only 192.0.0.0/24 is an authorized sender then all is well, but if it had originated at 1.2.3.4 Google would judge that it fails SPF and very likely be given a SPAM tag. (Repeated more RFC-ishly at bottom)

More specifically if the message originated at internal.apple.com at 17.x.x.x then was relayed via the ESP at 192.0.2.x with SPF saying that only 192.0.2.0/24 is an authorized sender of the FROM FQDN Google would likely tag it SPAM because of the first Received header.


Given an SPF of "v=spf1 ip4:192.0.0.25 ~all".

  Okay:
    Received: from ([192.0.0.25]) by Google
    Received: from ([192.168.1.101]) by myserver

  Fail:
    Received: from ([192.0.0.25]) by Google
    Received: from ([1.2.3.4]) by myserver
