Hi!

Probably I am doing something a bit naughty here, but I have a little bit of code that calls the '_mailchimp_subscribe_user' function. I have been using it to subscribe someone to our list. It has been working fine and dandy for 6 months. In my code I had been checking the return value - if it returned null I sent myself an email telling me that the person has not been subscribed.

Anyway, yesterday it suddenly started emailing me. No idea why, also doesnt seem to happen all the time. I suspected something at the MailChimp end, so I have raised a ticket with them, but I thought I'd mention it here too. Also, I went into MC and look at my account/api page and it seems like whenever I try to subscribe someone two API calls are happening. First: listMemberInfo then listSubscribe. I notice nice green ticks next to the listSubscribe entries, but listMemberInfo calls look like they have failed. Is that just me?

For good measure I just updated to the very latest version of this module. Still getting the red dots next to listMemberInfo calls

listMemberInfo is first called to determine is a given email address is already subscribed to a list, and then either inserts or updates the record in the MC list. I'm not seeing any errors with listMemberInfo on my API stats. Could be a hiccup with MC, firewall settings, etc.
