Sent GMX support a request about registration issues. Got auto response
that included this (which explains problem registering w/ Tor):

Now, I changed the IP address before trying to register again, after it
failed. But my guess is, so many people try registering w/ Tor & there
are only so many exit nodes / IP addresses, that after a while, the same
IP address must get used repeatedly.
I suppose I could keep changing IP address & trying - ad infinitum -
seems like a LONG, unsure process. Any suggestions?
