Yeah.

This.



The doctrine seems to be that they're sufficiently on the ball that they can 
handle all abuse issues internally, and thus, they hide that information, since 
it could be used to, for instance, launch a DDOS attach against the user's 
"Home" IP infrastructure.



They might have a point, but given the ease at which people can sign up for a 
new (and abusive) account these days, I tend to give it serious side-eye.

There’s also the ease at which some miscreants can abuse just about any service 
on day 0. ☹

Aloha,
Michael.

I will be quite surprised if there is any information leak that provides what 
you want.



Google tends to go out of their way to hide what you're asking for.



There's also a real chance that there is no information for what you want.  
I.e. someone composed the message in the web interface or something else that 
submitted the email to Google via something other than SMTP.  Google's SMTP 
servers would be the first SMTP servers in the message chain.



Good luck.  I would not hold my breath.
