Hi there,
You can get the IP of your particular MailChimp API server by using the following steps:
1. Extract the last 3 characters of your MailChimp API key.
Example
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx77cc-us1
In this case we need us1.
2. Open up your terminal or command line and enter the following.
ping us1.api.mailchimp.com
Replace us1 with the characters extracted in step 1.
3. You should get a response looking like this.
64 bytes from 23.34.181.92: icmp_seq=0 ttl=59 time=4.918 ms
This line shows the IP, 23.34.181.92 in this case.
Hope that helps, good luck!
Thanks for the quick response, Danny.
Unfortunately MailChimp uses a whole range of IP addresses, so every time I add one to the exception list it changes and I’m right back where I started. I know they change their IP range periodically, so I’m not sure there IS a workaround. (I’m not an expert by ANY means, so there may be one I don’t know about.)
I love this plug-in — you’ve made it easy, efficient and professional. I’m determined to use it, even if I have to turn off outbound control entirely for now. I’m concerned about security issues, though, so it’d be great if I can fix this. Wondering if any other users have encountered this problem…
