• I set up a product download page and everything works except the customer does not receive an email with a download link. They can process payments with paypal and get a confirmation from paypal, but the receipt does not come in.

    I looked at some other topics that had the same issue and set up mandrillapp.com account, I got the test email from the account, but the EED still does not send emails with links.

    I have the name and the link to the file.
