mandrillreturnpath.billhero.com.au is “DNS only” and not “Proxied” (it likely needs to stay like that so Mailchimp can validate it) so the request doesn’t pass through Cloudflare.

You’ll need to get it working using HTTPS at the origin end.

Cloudflare SSL shouldn’t be used to front a non-SSL website anyway so if you were able to proxy this, you would still need to get the origin working with HTTPS anyway.

The records I can see aren’t proxied so this doesn’t do anything, but set it to “Full (strict)” anyway as that’s what you should use if you do use the proxy for anything later.
