 * Hello,
    I have installed the plugin. I now see a new tab on Contact Form 7 called
   mailchimp I insert the mailchimp API and mailchimp list ID Do I have to fill 
   the Mail tab? Anyway I put the shortcode in a text widget, opened the website
   page, typed an email, pressed submit and it sends an email instead of adding 
   a new subscriber to the list. What am I missing? Is there a different shortcode
   when using mailchimp form? Help page is not very clear. Thanks.

 * I’m having same issue. Even named fields exactly the same as docs, but will not
   add to list.
 * UPDATE – I had to verify a domain with mailchimp, and I adjust MC list setting
   to domain that the subscribers are coming from, and it now is working
