    Hi,

    I have a similar problem. When I sent myself my MailChimp campaign (first time) all the links to my site show this message:

    403 Forbidden Error Page. If you arrived here due to a search or clicking on a link click your Browser’s back button to return to the previous page. Thank you.

    The other links work ok. I’m not a programmer. And I found many fields in BPS Security page You were mentioning here. It seems I put the code in a correct place but I still getting the same message.

    Here is the TEST email from MailChimp: http://eepurl.com/bSiLEz

    Post 1 of the Security Log entries from your BPS Security Log so I can see what is being blocked.

    Guess this is information related to these entries:

    What is being blocked are the round brackets ( and ) in the Query String.  The solution is here:  http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/mailchimp-tracking-code-causing-403/#post-13778
