Lead engineer at MailChimp here. Funny you should mention it, but tomorrow we're going to be launching Google Authenticator and YubiKey integrations with AlterEgo so you can use th…

We saw it pop up on Centos6 as well. JRE 1.6 and 1.7.

We saw this on every Ubuntu Lucid machine we run. Restarting the JVM was insufficient - we ended up fully rebooting the machines.

Yes - the pricing is flat rate. Right now charging for inbound emails is turned off since the feature is so new and basic, but inbound emails will be indexed and tracked the same a…

Well, supporting unsubscribes in transactional emails can sometimes make sense, like with notification or confirmation emails where the user might want the option to not receive th…

It's really simple right now. We add a List-Unsubscribe header to each email which in supporting email clients (like gmail) adds an unsubscribe button to the report spam button tha…

We've considered it, but we're still working on our reseller/integrator story.

You can customize DKIM without a dedicated IP. You do need to have a paid plan to get the dedicated IP, but that's really because you need at least a few hundred thousand emails pe…

Yes - you can use Mandrill for newsletters if you want to code your own subscription logic and store your own list of emails. MailChimp is quite a bit more expensive than Mandrill,…

Not yet. The inbound system right now is really basic - we'll parse out the messages and deliver them to a webhook, but we won't munge it much beyond breaking apart attachments and…

There are a few things that we think set Mandrill apart from the pack. Our application is designed with responsiveness in mind, and we have mobile application on both of the major …

We're trying to make Mandrill a stable email platform for all uses, so in that way we're similar to SendGrid. Where we're really trying to focus isn't so much in just the delivery …

That's one of the reasons we chose that name for the brand. Since Mandrill is an infrastructure service, we wanted it to feel more serious and aggressive than MailChimp.

We built on top of our own internal job scheduling systems that we use for email to handle retries, batching, and concurrency handling so we don't overwhelm your servers. It's all …

You do get all the information we have on the message and the bounce. Recipient, sender, subject line, bounce info, tags, etc.

Hey - I'm Chad, the project lead for Mandrill. I'd be happy to answer any questions you guys might have.

A viable solution going forward is to have browsers implement both the vendor-prefixed and non-vendor-prefixed versions of a property, but use the vendor-prefixed one preferentiall…

This is only hypocritical if when Stallman says "phone", he always means "cell phone". Just to be a devil's advocate, he could be talking about a landline which generally doesn't t…

Any coding problem that could feasibly be completed in an acceptable amount of time would be too small to actually tell me what I want to know. I mostly don't want to know what alg…

I actually reject people without pet projects for an entirely different reason. I can find out much more about how you behave as a developer and whether or not you'd fit in with ou…

It'll be interesting to see how much this gets adopted. Ad-hoc query languages like SQL are great for operations and reporting, but if your NoSQL store needs to conform to the limi…

I like this, supposing that it lets extensions request permissions at the point when the user tries to do something requiring the permission, rather than at install time. At instal…

The Lua community has been historically more focused on embedded and scripting scenarios, and less on building a comprehensive platform for libraries and applications (compare the …

It's probably not a slight against Chrome. These sorts of edge-case error pages are typically some of the least up-to-date for a website. You need to use a browser they don't test …

No, bulk importing does not send a resubscribe message. MailChimp assumes that if you have access to the address list, then you have permission to send.
