  I’ve been trying for a day or so to create a new wordpress account with a new email that has not been used on wordpress before, but I never receive an email to activate the account.
  Does anyone have a solution?
  I appreciate your help!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Check your spam folder: they often go there.

  They are not in my spam folder. We even had out IT support double check. We’ve tried 3 different email accounts and none of them have received anything to activate a new blog. It’s extremely frustrating. This has been ongoing for 3 days now.

  Probably related, also struggling to receive confirmation email:

  It appears that WordPress has a particularly annoying idea of what makes an e-mail service legitimate. I don’t understand the exact criteria, but I can see their email connecting to mine, and then disconnecting, without attempting to send the email. Probably something to do with reverse DNS, or something like that. What a pain.
