I am not asking about distribution of email newsletters -- I am asking about access to some newsletters for which I have signed up. For example -- Family Tree DNA [FTDNA] sends me a message every time a match is found to a DNA sample. There is a clickable link, I click and get the following screen:

Firefox can’t find the server at mandrillapp.com. 

   Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of www.example.com
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

This happens with newsletters from my optometrist and several other newsletters I am successfully signed up for but unable to receive. It apparently has something to do with the Mail Chimp distribution function. I have gone to the providers of said newsletters but have not gotten a response.

I am replying to my own query with yet another website - audobon.org

I am trying to retrieve a list of plants I requested and the url [sending me a message] tells me is available via an email to my gmail account]. When I click on the url I get the following:

Firefox can’t find the server at mandrillapp.com. 

   Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of www.example.com
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

My computer is working fine; i am having no trouble at other sites--this is driving me berserk...
