Thanks for your response! Yes I tried the +1 gmail but its still not getting added to mailchimp - no matter what email address I use it doesnt work ( I am thinking it blacklisted my IP address) - and other people that submit the form, sometimes get added sometimes not. For example - today 2 people were added out of 20 that sumbitted the form - so I have them registered in my gravity forms entries but only 2 in my mailchimp audience contacts.
