Having a look at the SPF records....

gmail.com.              300     IN      TXT     "v=spf1
redirect=_spf.google.com"

which becomes...

_spf.google.com.        300     IN      TXT     "v=spf1
ip4:216.239.32.0/19 ip4:64.233.160.0/19 ip4:66.249.80.0/20
ip4:72.14.192.0/18 ip4:209.85.128.0/17 ip4:66.102.0.0/20
ip4:74.125.0.0/16 ip4:64.18.0.0/20 ip4:207.126.144.0/20
ip4:173.194.0.0/16 ?all"

and therefore totals to a potential +212K "approved" sending hosts.

But, as far as the SPF processing is concerned....note the ?all at the end.
