You should be able to enter ping sendgrid.com at the command prompt and get the IP address. I got 198.37.144.73. There are also add-ons for most browsers that will give you that information plus more that I wouldn't know what to do with.

SendGrid have some information about which ports on their website, see the following link. https://sendgrid.com/docs/User_Guide/smtp_ports.html
