mailchimp not working correctly?

[Juan71287]

Hello, everyone. After following this to the T

https://alidropship.com/codex/7-setup-subscription-form/

(I already know how to do this but I did it anyways to make sure I was not missing anything) I still get an error.

Code I used at the Alidropshipping Customization Subscriber Form:

<!-- Begin MailChimp Signup Form -->
<link href="//cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/horizontal-slim-10_7.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style type="text/css">
    #mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; width:100%;}
    /* Add your own MailChimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.
      We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. */
</style>
<div id="mc_embed_signup">
<form action="//.us14.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=8b4c6705cd75277b55866bed2&amp;id=38316521af" method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank" novalidate>
    <div id="mc_embed_signup_scroll">
  
    <input type="email" value="" name="EMAIL" class="email" id="mce-EMAIL" placeholder="email address" required>
    <!-- real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups-->
    <div style="position: absolute; left: -5000px;" aria-hidden="true"><input type="text" name="b_8b4c6705cd75277b55866bed2_38316521af" tabindex="-1" value=""></div>
    <div class="clear"><input type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="button"></div>
    </div>
</form>
</div>

<!--End mc_embed_signup-->

When I write down an email and click submit, this is what the URL looks like:

https://.us14.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?EMAIL=nothheh%40hello.com&b_8b4c6705cd75277b55866bed2_38316521af=&subscribe=Subscribe

And this is the ERROR:

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks.

I assume no one has encountered this? Anyone know if MailChimp has a help desk? I can't find it anywhere either.

i have encountered the same issue though I have pepipost set up and tested with no issue with the email notification. Mailchimp replied not
their issue and something to do with the site.

I am also at loss and wasted so much time looking at this problem. Why can't we use the standard SMTP and have to reply on email notification to send out email.
