Spent the last week trying to get verified on Peerlist to launch on their Launchpad.
Hit every wall possible:
Google Workspace trial expired, no Gmail access.
GoDaddy removed free email forwarding.
Zoho and Google Workspace both pointed at the same domain, conflicting MX records.
Finally fixed it by checking DNS records directly, confirming Zoho was the active mail provider, and logging into Zoho Mail directly instead of assuming Gmail forwarding would work.
The lesson: when something "should be working" and isn't, check the actual configuration instead of assuming the obvious fix will work. DNS records don't lie even when your assumptions do.
XEdge launches on Peerlist Monday. Small technical win, big unlock.
