Research direction

Start with the MailChimp deliverability warning quoted in the issue and review the proposed sender addresses and available domains. Confirm which domain and From address should be used, then verify that the selected domain is configured successfully in MailChimp.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

MailChimp warns us about the following:

Deliverability warning
The From email address for this campaign is set as gitrevnews@gmail.com.
In the near future, Gmail will implement authentication policies that could prevent your campaign from being delivered to Gmail addresses.

Sounds like some spam prevention effort. The right thing for us to do would be to have something like feedback@gitrevnews.com - in any case, whatever From-email we specify, we'll have to verify the domain (I'm guessing we have to have a valid email there) with MailChimp.

Any ideas what domain we could use, @chriscool ? I only own tfnico.com and gitminutes.com. I could set up a forwarder on revnews@gitminutes.com to go to our gmail account, but it's still a bit weird.
