Within last two hour, I tested these four exits, all failed to create
new accounts. FF 3.6.1x, proxy set, dead common agent string. All
form fields randomly generated for each exit. No recovery address
supplied.

I'd be curious if anyone has success with these.

You'll need to map these at minimum for the US. Sorry, Tor does not
yet offer wildcard domain or CIDR block mapping, so you have to
enter them all manually and maybe miss some that I didn't list:

          google.com
     mail.google.com
 clients1.google.com
encrypted.google.com
      www.google.com

Ok, cool. For me, there has never been a time in past few years I
recall without the CAPTCHA on the signup form page. I want to see
if I can instrument Tor's mapping function to emit host/IP to exit
pairs as each is used or changes to syslog so they are not missed
during testing various sites.

Oh, I thought that was called CAPTCHA :) Yes, I still see inbound
spam from randomized accounts. Don't know if they're new.

I have had ones that old and older. All single purpose accounts
that I deleted when done with them. If I recall, all of them had
something pop up about verification when Google became more strict.
But I hit ignore and that was that. Doesn't mean it won't happen
again. This thread is about people creating new accounts via Tor
today, not legacy stuff.
