Re: [tor-talk] anyone created an acct on GMX using Tor?

[Juan Cristian <xuan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After seing these posts I went ahead & tried to register w/o Tor & find the same errors (& many more red-herring errors from poor validation javascript on the registration page) - The only things I have that might be interfering with the process are request policy, which blocks all cross-domain requests on a page, and which I opened up for the GMX registration page, and a hosts file with loopbacks for most annoying ad services, which I also temporarily removed. Nothing doing - after 5 attempts I still get the same validation error:
"1. Your registration could not be processed at the moment. Please try again later. If the error persists, please contact us."
Seems like bad architecture, sloppy validation, or a combination of th two at work here more than actual security...

I know they & other providers are trying to prevent spammers, fraud, etc.  I'm none of those, but they don't know me from Adam, even if I tell them I'm using Tor.
