Half of Mailchimp confirmation emails missing

I am having a related issue and this topic seemed most similar.
There are 2 issues I am having:
1-Only 50% of subscribers are receiving the Confirmation email from MailChimp. Which means that only half of the subscribers that register on my site through the PayPal Pro / Free Registration Form in s2Member are added to MailChimp through the api.
2-Registrants are able to access the site with out confirmation. Meaning after completing the free trial form users can instantly access the restricted pages on my site. I want them to complete the email confirmation (so that I can verify the legitimation of the email address provided) prior to them being able to access my site.
Any help, work around, or alternative suggestion is greatly appreciated. I am fine with dropping the double-confirm all together if there is an alternative way to confirm the email address.
Thanks again!! I am LOVING s2Member!
