Well, if you just want a computer account and not a human one, login as guest
and read "help computer_app" which tells how to apply for a computer account.
The process is a little more complex than for a human account, but you don't
need to deal with the automated registration that objects to your email addr.

The help file starts out:
#If you want to have a computer account, please send an e-mail to
#computers@freechess.org with ALL of the following info (please use this as
#a form):

If you want a human account also(and computer accounts are more likely to
be granted if you have had a human account for some time) then the process
is to log in as a guest and type "showa" to list all online admins.  Then
send one of them a tell like "tell Kokesh hi, I need help registering,
the online registration program thinks that I have a free email account"
