Hi
am having some issues converting from mandrill
PAID account: xxx
Note this image:

1) Should display the persons name after TO
2) Merge not working [% FNAME %]
3) Below, the same JSON was submitted 2 times.
The 1st time you rejected it.
2nd time was accepted.
There is NO WAY the API key or Sending Domain was changed - these come from constants in my App.
So, your error is incorrect PLUS you incorrectly rejected the 1st message.
THIS IS THE 3RD TIME TONIGHT this has happened.
After the 1st time I knew something was going on.
You can also examine the merge_vars - I think this is getting ignored since it is not showing up in Email AND the nice User name is not appearing either.
Here is my submitted JSON
