 ### 🔴 MANUAL 1 — Google Postmaster Tools (Gmail is our biggest blocker)
 Gmail's verbatim rejection names "the sending **domain**", so this is priority #1.
-1. Go to <https://postmaster.google.com> and sign in with any Google account.
-2. Click **+ (Add domain)** -> enter `performancewest.net`.
-3. Google shows a **TXT record** like `google-site-verification=XXXXXXXX`.
-4. Add it at **HE.net DNS** (dns.he.net -> performancewest.net zone):
-   - Type: `TXT`, Name: `@` (apex), Value: the full `google-site-verification=...`
-     string. (This coexists with the existing SPF TXT — multiple TXT records on
-     the apex are fine.)
-5. Wait ~15 min for propagation, then click **Verify** in Postmaster Tools.
-6. Data (Domain Reputation, IP Reputation, Spam Rate, Auth pass %, Feedback Loop)
-   starts populating in 24-48h once volume flows from the consolidated IP.

+(zone owner is the `justin` Hestia user; ~30s zone rebuild + slaves sync via the

 ### 🔴 MANUAL 2 — Microsoft SNDS + JMRP (Outlook/Hotmail/Live)
 SNDS is **IP-based** (register the sending IPs), JMRP is the complaint feedback loop.
