Oops.

THEN, set up the subscribe form/link on your website and let people subscribe there. You can also email some folks from your own server, tell them you're starting a newsletter and give them the link to your new list, so they can sign up.That way, the only people you have in your MailChimp list are people who have double opted-in and you're sure they want to hear from you.

There were quite a few of customers who responded from a different email (because they are using outlook or some other POP/IMAP program) and did not get removed. These customers angrily emailed us and we combed to remove them, those who didn't marked us as spam and now we are sometimes dumping directly into junkmail perpetuating the problem.Is there someway to fix this? Do we need to start our list from scratch? I don't want our domain to be known as Sir Spamalot! Any advise greeted with great appreciation!
