A rails app for using Mandrill API with Mail chimp to send emails to users from a CSV file

MailChimp + Mandrill

####Set up

1. Before you run the server, add an environmental variable with your Mandrill API Key

$ export MANDRILL_API_KEY=<your-api-key>

  ```
You can get **your-api-key** from your mandrill account. Also, make sure you configure your sending domain in mandrill to avoid mail bounce.

######Note

You need to verify the sending email address domain in order to send emails using the mandrill API. See the notice from mandrill below
