• First-off, we’re going to be talking about both the MailChimp and Mandrill modules. So, before we get into the modules, can you explain the difference between the two services?
• Unique relationship with MailChimp and how they’re sponsoring development, etc.
• What do you see as the benefit of using an external service like MailChimp as compared to a “Drupal” specific setup like using Simplenews or Message notify?
• And for the sake of argument, what would you see as a benefit of using a “Drupal” setup over an external service?

• How much integration is there between the module and the service?
• Can you create new lists from the Drupal interface? How many lists?
• Can you create the newsletters in the Drupal interface?

• How do you include site content?
• How does it deal with images in a newsletter?
• How can you add site content into a newsletter?
• Can you setup autoresponders?
