Body: <p>I'm having issues with emails being sent for new donations (membership signups actually).</p>
  
  <p>I've tested each mail server type and I can send bulk emails, and test emails. 
  I'm using PayPal as my processor and that seems to be working fine.</p>
  
  <p>My contributions are being marked complete, and new contact/memberships are being created. It seems the only problem is the member isn't getting sent a receipt email.</p>
  
  <p>I noticed this q: <a href="https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/777/online-receipt-not-being-send-to-donors/1997#1997">Online receipt not being send to donors</a>
  which sounds similar but I think I've tested that it isn't a paypal problem.</p>
  
  <p>When I tell the system to store the emails in the db, no email is being created, telling me the issue is within CiviCRM.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?  Much appreciated.</p>
