Your response has been submitted.

The Mailchimp account with the username [redacted by KN@PPSTER] has submitted the following message to our compliance team:

--------------------
So far as I can tell, I am in no way in violation of Mailchimp's acceptable use policy. I publish a daily news and commentary roundup (I've published it for more than 20 years, including many years via Mailchimp). It contains no illegal material, etc. So what's going on here?

This morning, 9:03am, from Mailchimp:

Hello,

Our automated abuse-prevention system, Omnivore, detected account content or actions that violate our Acceptable Use Policy.

https://mailchimp.com/legal/acceptable_use/#Prohibited_Content

In order to protect all of our users and ensure the deliverability of everyone’s campaigns, we have to ask that you seek a new vendor for your marketing needs.

Please log in and export your account data (mailchimp.com/help/export-back-up-data).

We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

This morning, 9:08am, from me:

"My understanding in this matter" is that no, I didn't violate your acceptable use policy. Please feel free to specify how I did.

And that's where things stand.

I really hate moving between email delivery services, which is why it's been years since I've done so. 

Mailchimp has done a good job for me ... until today. "Our automated system says you did something we don't like, and we're not going to tell you what it was, go fuck yourself" is, IMO, pretty bad business practice.
