I would like to know if anyone is using Mandrill for sending transactional emails from X-Cart?

As a simpler alternative to modifying X-Cart to send requested User Manuals and Software Applications, Mandrill seems to offer a convenient way of sending such emails. Merge data such as the URL or the information to be downloaded and SKU can be included in Mandrill templates. The templates can be created in MailChimp or Mandrill easily (without having to wrestle with Smarty) and details of emails sent arcan be stored in lists for subsequent marketing activities with MailChimp.

It seems the "only" part that needs to be worked out is integrating the Mandrill API into X-Cart. I would really interested to know if someone has done this.
