If you're sending from gmail, use whatever gmail specifies for
sending. Otherwise your mail will be seen as spoofed.
The converse of this is that, in my opinion, *every* domain should
have an SPF record and *every* mail server should check them. That
would eliminate a huge slab of forged mail, and it'd prevent some
stupid web email forms from doing the wrong thing and only finding out
that it's wrong years later.
