Won’t let you configure unless you give public physical address

    After you activate the plugin and it collects your info and email, it forces you to provide a physical address to include in all footers of emails you’d send out to comply with “anti-spam laws,” even though I’ve never once been prompted with this. If you don’t want to give your address, it makes suggestions like renting out a PO box. Laughable. Point is, could you imagine sending a physical address to thousands of subscribers? In 2025 there’s something called Online businesses.

    This is related to the Mailchimp.com service, specifically to the law they have to follow, so it’s not their choice either. This is not related to our plugin.

    The MC4WP plugin is not asking you for your address as our plugin isn’t sending out emails. Our plugin is for creating subscription boxes. The emailing itself is done by Mailchimp and that’s a separate company that we aren’t directly affiliated with.

    Hope that explains it.
