Hi @thangtx! This issue appears to be a request for support, which we cannot provide through github. you'll need to reach out to apihelp@mailchimp.com for support.

@thangtx This should work if you use the PUT verb instead of POST. You'll need to create an MD5 hash of the lowercased email address and append that to the url. See http://developer.mailchimp.com/documentation/mailchimp/reference/lists/members/#edit-put_lists_list_id_members_subscriber_hash
