It will only be available for MailChimp customers who have monthly plans.\r\n\r\n@jaswsinc It sounds like this change should speed up our timeline for adding support for other integrations (such as SendGrid; see https://github.com/websharks/comment-mail/issues/200) to Comment Mail, as it sounds like Mandrill is not going to be a reasonable solution for the Comment Mail RVE handler going forward.

I'm a MailChimp paying customer on a Monthly plan and I was hoping that would mean I'd be able to get Mandrill added to my account for free, but apparently the minimum amount required to connect Mandrill to your MailChimp account is $20/month—not practical at all for occasional use. Ugh.\r\n\r\nIt looks like SparkPost is going to be our next best option. They're honoring Mandrill's pricing and their free plan looks good. I've opened a GitHub issue to discuss SparkPost: https://github.com/websharks/comment-mail/issues/265"}}
