Title: Problem setting up WordPress.org Account Last modified: September 12, 2024 --- # Problem setting up WordPress.org Account * [parulpriya30](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parulpriya30/) * (@parulpriya30) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-setting-up-wordpress-account/) * Hi! I am trying to set up an account with my company email id, and running into issues. We need an account with the company email id so that we can send reports related to distributed testing as mentioned here: [https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/handbook/tests/#how-to-report-creating-your-bot-for-wordpress-org](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/handbook/tests/#how-to-report-creating-your-bot-for-wordpress-org) * I got an email to setup the password for this account, but upon clicking that link, it takes me to the Create Profile page and mentions that “Your account is pending approval. You will receive an email at `@wpengine.com` to set your password when approved. Please contact [forum-password-resets@wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-setting-up-wordpress-account/forum-password-resets@wordpress.org?output_format=md) for more details.” * The emails to [forum-password-resets@wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-setting-up-wordpress-account/forum-password-resets@wordpress.org?output_format=md) have been failing as well due to “High probability of spam error”. Can someone please help with getting us set up an account? Thank you! - This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by [parulpriya30](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parulpriya30/).

The error in the email mentions “The response from the remote server was: 554 5.7.1 High probability of spam”, so I wonder if there is a filter on the receiver end to filter it out. FWIW, I did get an email when I set up my account from [noreply@wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-setting-up-wordpress-account/noreply@wordpress.org?output_format=md) for setting up the password, so the email is working one way, but I am not able to _send_ emails to [forum-password-resets@wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-setting-up-wordpress-account/forum-password-resets@wordpress.org?output_format=md). * The actual issue with the account setup is the link that was sent to create a password is not working. When I follow the link, it either takes me to a “link has expired” or “Your account is pending approval. You will receive an email at `` to set your password when approved.” page. The interesting thing is the original email I received was for setting up the password, so I am a bit confused as to why the link in that email is still saying “Your account is pending approval”. * Moderator [Marius L.

J.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clorith/) * (@clorith) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-setting-up-wordpress-account/#post-18015300) * We’ve approved the pending WP Engine accounts at this time, but we obviously can’t publicly disclose why they were kept in limbo. * We strongly recommend checking in with your mail provider why their mail services may (or have been) blocked recently, to ensure you are able to reach out in the future if similar incidents should occur. * Thread Starter [parulpriya30](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parulpriya30/) * (@parulpriya30) * [1 year, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-setting-up-wordpress-account/#post-18018643) * Thank you Marius for the approvals. I will reach out to the folks who manage our emails on our side as well to see why we are having issues sending these emails.
