: Can I send a confirmation E-Mail to imported E-Mail addresses in MailChimp? I have a list of E-Mail addresses opting in to subscribe to a newsletter. However, the form that collected the addresses

I have a list of E-Mail addresses opting in to subscribe to a newsletter. However, the form that collected the addresses did not send out a "double-opt-in" confirmation E-Mail, which is legally required in the country our web site runs in.

We use MailChimp as our mailing service. MailChimp allows manually adding E-Mail addresses and lists of addresses, but it does not offer sending a confirmation E-Mail to these subscribers - different from those who signed up using MailChimp's own forms.

Is there a way to make MailChimp send a confirmation E-Mail to those addresses after all? Short of entering them all into a form myself?

Please turn on the check box for Send a final welcome email that you can found from List Settings.This will enable you to send a welcome mail to the subscribers when they get added to the corresponding list.

MailChimp's support got back to me and had this to say:


Unfortunately there would not be a direct way for MailChimp to send
out a confirmation email for you, however there is an alternative way
to get those people to signup without entering them all one by one
into your signup form.

By reconfirming your list, subscribers will be able to click a link to
your signup form and sign themselves up and then opt in through our
double opt in forms. Please keep in mind this process must be done
outside of MailChimp using your normal email client. More information
on how to do this can be found here:
