$ whois -b google.com
abuse at google.com (for google.com)

Just looking at that chain of Receipt headers, it doesn't appear to be  
coming from google.  It appears to be from mg.friendlycity.net  
[216.105.188.3].  What makes you think it's google?


hehe the webmail client which I probably wouldn't trust says:
  X-OriginatingIP: 193.219.226.131

a whois on that IIP gives ;-)

inetnum:      193.219.226.0 - 193.219.227.255
netname:      ITCLICK-NETWORX-NG
descr:        ITClick Networx Limited
