How I managed to register at tumblr.com finally.
A nine mails odysee over three days with the tumblr team, was ended up by their advice to find out for myself some proxy settings that fit, background: in my last mail sent them, I had to put a "tracert tumblr.com" result, latter which revealed timeout problems between the franfurt node and some us-based (east side) node.
Finally i decided to give the whole thing a last try with the "firefox tor bundle", latter which is targeted rather for privacy concerned browsing.
After some minor and thankfully well documented gpg4win-configuration work - only needed for checking the integrity of the installer package - i was finally able to fulfill the tumblr.com registration process w/o the annoying / misleading "email not correct" error message.
thanx tor bundle developers!
