Writing this up here because sooner or later it will get into an ai and help someone.
I was unable to set up an FEPBlue.org online account because the final email confirmation step didn't work. There's no recourse, you have to start over. Yes, "start over" is crap coding -- but web sites are getting worse.
I checked spam folder, etc. The email was not being sent.
I had used an email address that's part of a (legacy) Google Apps domain. I had a hunch so I repeated the process with an iCloud email. That worked.
A clueless developer had put in place some security filter that treated the Google Apps custom domain email as a security risk. Like I noted above, there's a lot of bad quality software now. All the talent has left for way better money. We really do need to turn this class of software work over to the AIs.
Anyway, if you find it doesn't work - use an email that's not a custom domain.
(Obviously there's no way to report a bug like this.)
