Content Filter Rules (All vs. Any)

Problem reported by Jay Dubb - Today at 5:23 AM

We have a Content Filter that requires ALL criteria to be true:

1.) If sender address DOES NOT MATCH *@gmail.com -AND-

2.) If IP address IS IN 74.125.0.0/16
Then <perform an action>.

Rule is set to require ALL to be true. That's worked for nearly all spam originating from Google's network, none of which use a @gmail addresses as the sender.

Now we're seeing spam from different Google IP space and we need to add a 2nd IP range, but if we do, then the rule breaks because we can't have "ALL" since that would force both IP ranges to be true simultaneously, which is impossible.

Is it possible to create a rule that requires both 1 and 2 to be true, but only ONE condition inside #2 be true and still trigger?
1.) If sender address DOES NOT MATCH *@gmail.com -AND-

2.) If IP address IS IN [ 74.125.0.0/16 -OR- 209.85.0.0/17 ]

Then <perform an action>

If so, how? We're trying to avoid having to write a separate rule for each IP range, if possible.

Update: Does adding multiple ranges in this box get treated as an -OR- operation, so that if any ONE of the IP ranges is hit, then the ALL requirement of the rule is still satisfied?
