 * Hi there,
    I read that the email verification is a double opt-in by default, 
   but my forms are single opt-in. I don’t see where that could have been changed.
   I had a few spam signups that slipped past me and bounced after an email campaign.
 * Any help is appreciated. I’d like my forms to be double opt-in.
    Thanks!

 * Hi cgirgenti,
 * What version of the plugin are you running? The double optin is hardcoded into
   the plugin by default. There currently is no way to switch things over to a single
   opt-in.
 * After a user submits through the form are they being added to your list? The 
   way it should work, is a user submits there information and then they are to 
   receive a confirmation email. Once they have clicked through that email, they
   are then added to your list. They shouldn’t be added without clicking that link
   via email.
 * We are about to release the 3.0 version which utilizes the latest version of 
   the MailChimp API. Its possible that the older version of the API has some deprecated
   functions that are causing you some issues.
 * Thanks,
    Evan

 * Hi Evan,
    Thanks for getting back to me.
 * I’m running v2.2.1
 * My shopping cart (WP eStore) allows me to change the setting for single opt-in.
   It was set up a while ago and I didn’t even remember. The plugins were conflicting
   and the shopping cart won!
 * I received an error within the cart files when I tested the mail form and then
   checked. So sorry to have wasted your time.
 * I appreciate your help!
    Thanks, Crystal

 * Hi Crystal,
 * So glad you were able to get things sorted out! I’ll be working on implementing
   a method for switching between single and double opt-in as well as a few other
   tweaks. Thanks for using our plugin!
