Hi everybody, I faced some problems in running the Mailchimp Plugin. I got an error message.
Here´s the answer of their support:

Your problem is two-fold.
The first is the issue with "safe-mode" Intellispire does not support safe mode. It has been deprecated in both PHP 5.3 and in Joomla 1.7. It never worked very well, made programming hard, and gave people a false sense of security.
AND the error message you are getting is just a warning and could be ignored. Turn off safe mode.
The second, separate issue is that the registration details are not being passed through to the Auto-Responder. In looking at your plugin, all looks ok. Try to have all fields except first name and email to not be required. There seems to be a problem with MailChimp recognizing some of your required fields. If they are NOT required, then the registration can go through even if the info is not there, or the fields name dont match exactly.
Another issue is HikaShop. Although the plugin *should* be universal, we have never tested with HikaShop. We would need a copy of the software to install into our development environment for testing. If removing the requirement for the extended fields does not solve the problem of no pass-through, please send a copy of the HikaShop plugin so that we can test against it, directly.

Altough these guys there are quiet helpful I decided not to use the plugin and ask for a refund because I dont want to spend too much time on technical issues. i´d like to focus on my business.
Hope that helps
Chris
