As a newbie I rented a winserver2016 vps and dezigned a wordpress site on it. The site is simple wit 8 pages, 2 mailchimp forms, some picures and two youtube embedded links.
Now I have 2 options:
a) hosting my site on a hosting server with CentOS servers (Versio)
b) keeping the winserver2016 at TransIP and keep the site running on it
I have insufficiënt knowledge about securing a CentOS server and would be happy working within a Microsoft en ironment which I am familiar with.
Mail will be done by hosted mailservers of Versio or TransIP
I need the sit to be stable and fast and would like to know how many visits a month can be served by both options without major delay (less than 1 sec for loadi g a page is required)
The wordpress theme is generated press with 4-6 plugins for mailchimp, security and youtube.
Any advise will be apreciated highly!!

Hi Experts,
I have a client that did a mail blast using mailchimp and says that those emails went to Junk or Promo folders.
If I was to do the blast using PHP and loop one by one email, would this be avoided?
Thanks,

Our digital agency said email marketing will be effective that is mails getting delivered to inbox or promotional tab is assured if the complete mail is with only one image file (png file) without any text in the email body, full image in the email body, according to them by doing this google algorithm will not identify this as it is image hence mails will not be spam and assured inbox delivery or promotional tab. Please suggest is this correct in reality. thanks in advance

Hi
One of the staff use mail chimp and sends out the news letters through mail chimp campaign.
When the news letter is viewed in outlook 2013 it looks ok, but if I view through OWA 2007, the formatting is all over the place. Please let me know how to trouble shoot this.
Will there be any settings in exchange, that I need to enable or disable. OR will this be something that needs to be done in mailchimp.

Thanks and any help would be great.

There is no MailChimp 'Content' heading in design mode, along with 'Design' and 'Comments' which do exist.
The 'Content' pane is required to access Content Blocks in the design mode.

One of our RSS feed URL's has been https://neighborsofchampaign.com/feed?cat=-4 originally set to pull our General News feed from a Wordpress site. These RSS feeds are being used with MailChimp campaigns.
Other specific Wordpress categories are formatted https://www.neighborsofchampaign.com/?cat=210&feed=rss2
Questions:
1. What is the -4 value effect on the RSS feed? Note: the actual category ID for General News is 3 in our case.
2. Is the domain/?cat=xxx&feed=rss2 the formal way to format rev 2 of RSS?

I am the designated admin for multiple MailChimp accounts. Recently noticed one of our subscription links for a production site, seems to have one of my development domain names within the URL.
Our production site for our Calendar subscriptions is https://calendar.neighborsofchampaign.com
The MailChimp subscription form link is:
http://etcil.us13.list-manage2.com/subscribe is the URL in question.
Odd thing is:
"etcil" happens to be one of my development domains.
The subscription form does its job, but has me concerned should the time come where my development site become unavailable. This does not seem like a coincidence and has me bugged :) Looking for help back tracking to understand what the connection is?

Hi
Can anyone help here? I found a user trying this recently, thus uploading client addresses to it for mailing. We blocked it as we have an internal solution.
Where is the data stored? Would anyone else use this for corporate mass email marketing?

Our company uses mailchimp to send out company emails. Because of security in outlook 2013/2016, they have to click the "click here to download pictures" link to download the images. I have a list of mail servers that mailchimp uses and was wondering if there is a way in exchange 2013 to add these to a whitelist and then make it prevent the users from getting this message. I understand I can turn the feature off using group policy, however, I would rather only allow it off for certain mail senders. Is this possible?
Thanks

I have a user who wants to use Mailchimp to send newsletters to their list contacts. Although I see emails would be originating from Mailchimp’s servers, they would actually be shown as originating from our domain (with the help of SPF and DKIM records).
In view of this, could this potentially affect and risk the reputation of our domain and/or own mail server in a blacklist scenario? Or would a potential blacklist be isolated solely to the IP addresses of the Mailchimp servers...

We have recently switched our DMARC policy from "none" to "quarantine". We utilize MailChimp and have followed their instructions to add their server information to our SPF and DKIM records. When we send out our test campaign, both SPF and DKIM pass but DMARC is failing. As I understand it, this is because SPF and DKIM are passing based on the "mandrillapp.com" domain, but this doesn't match the domain in the From field (ourdomain.com). Redacted message header from a test mailer is at the bottom.
Firstly, am I understanding the issue correctly? Secondly, does somebody have a recommendation on what adjustment I can make so that these messages are not flagged?
It appears from this article (http://wiki.asrg.sp.am/wiki/Mitigating_DMARC_damage_to_third_party_mail) that I can take steps to obscure the from email address so that it is not suggesting that the message originates from myaddress@ourdomain.com. Ideally, however we would prefer this to remain so that recipients can click reply directly.
Thanks in advance!

I see there is a $10/month fee
I do see "499 subscribers remaining until your plan requires an upgrade."
I see the Pro version costs $200/month
I need this to be able to send out thousands of email, way more than 2,000. But I can not spend $200/month.
I was told there's a $20/month service for unlimited emails, but I can not find that.
Am I in a pickle?
Thanks

I want this service but do not have $300 as an annual fee.
My media guy has trouble with MailChimp, finding a way to do the automation and integration of the emails for sign-ups, using only free tools.
Any goo alternatives? Once I get a rate, I would consider the $300, but want to get the first few mailing out.

Hi Everyone.
I'm having problems with a DMARC with 123-reg domain settings - Can anyone help me with what the format should be?
the dmarc is from mailchimp and they have told me to create a Cname record with this -
"k1._domainkey.mydomain.co
The problems I have/had so far in the past 8 days.
1) 123-reg DNS userface - if you enter the above "k1._domainkey.mydomain.co
2) Got 123-reg to input the full address for me waited 48hrs and the Cname was never listed on any 3rd Party DNS Lookup.
3) Did a full DNS report from MXToolbox and it came up saying that dmarc had Missing or Invalid Record.
after a bit hitting my head on the wall I found this on MailChimp site - which reads -
DKIM requires underscores in the CNAME file. However, in the past, DNS didn’t allow for underscores and some registrars still do not allow them to appear in the CNAME file. If you receive an error to this effect when you attempt to set up your custom DKIM, the issue is on the registrar's side. We recommend that you set up a secondary custom domain specifically for email with a registrar that allows underscores, switch DNS providers, or reach out directly to your current DNS provider about this issue.
I have asked 123-reg to confirm if this would be the problem but still waiting for the tickit to be answered (11Hrs and counting)
So can anyone shed some light on what could be going wrong? - I dont mind …

I have an xlsx file with 40,000 emails in column A that I want to import into a new Mailchimp list. In Mailchimp I've checked "Copy and past contacts from .xls or .xlsx file. Then I copied the A column to the clipboard in xlxs and pasted it to the "Paste subscriber" box in MailChimp. The data goes in but when I click Next I get the error "You must have an email address column to import a list."
So I inserted a row at the top of column A in xlsx and wrote "Email Address" there. Copied again to clipboard and pasted into MailChimp. Get same error as above.
Tried next copying the A column and pasting into Notepad++. Wrote "Email Address" above the first email, and copied from Notepad++ copied to clipboard. Selected "Import contacts from .csv or .txt file" in Mailchimp and pasted again. Still get the same error: "You must have an email address column to import a list."
So what is MailChimp looking for?
Thanks for any help

Hi all,
Yesterday, I had a user receive over 9000 emails in one hour - they where all newsletter style emails (including many from Mailchimp) in many different languages. The scary thing was that they all looked like legit subscriptions - headers looked legit etc. The user is hosted on exchange 2010 and it didn't affect any of his colleagues. Neither watchguard nor Xeams picked up on it and how I eventually got it under control was to increase the spam weighting of subscribe/welcome/subscrip
Apparently he hasn't subscribed to any newsletters but has anyone ever had this happen to them and how did it start?
Cheers

Hi Experts,
I have been logging in to Mailchimp with 2 Factor authentication using Android Google Authenticator successfully until today.
Now none of the verification codes generated by Authenticator work with Mailchimp. I get this message:
Whoa, slow down. We just can't keep up!
Google Authenticator Passcode Required
I think Authenticator is only generating verification codes for my Google Account, as the screen below the code shows my Gmail address.
Regards,
Leigh

We are looking for advice on a proper SPF record. Our current record is as follows:
V=spf1 mx ~all
But after doing some research, it seems that we should have a different setup like this:
v=spf1 mx a ip4:xx.xx.xx.xx include:mailchimp.com ?all
Where:
1) ip4:xx.xx.xx.xx = our mail server external address
2) include:mailchimp.com = mailchimp sends marketing emails on our behalf, but through their system, not ours
We have used a few of the online SPF creation tools, but all this seemed to have done is confuse us more. We want to make sure that our emails are received without issue on other systems, but don't want to open things up too much - especially with the mailchimp service. Any advice/explanation would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
