Reset password - email won't send #5232

I have the same exact problem as mentioned here, but the issue was closed and not resolved. I have setup my Parse server (v3.1.2) on Elastic Beanstalk and everything is working well. I have setup "reset email" and "verify email" using my Mailgun account and the parse-server-mailgun module. My "verify email" works correctly and an email is sent to the user but I can not get my "reset password" to function. I expect there is a parameter I am missing in my index.js file but I cant see what it can be. Given that the "verify email" correctly sends the link that verifies the account it must be something specific to the "reset password" options. I have googled this extensively without finding what the problem is.

The verbose log after sending a request for "reset password" does not offer any information and looks like this (seems correct):

 [36mverbose[39m: REQUEST for [POST] /parse/requestPasswordReset: {
   "email": "me@<removed>"
   } method=POST, url=/parse/requestPasswordReset, host=<removed>.com,

   length=35, accept=*/*, accept-encoding=br, gzip, deflate, accept-

   forwarded-proto=https, email=me@<removed>
   [36mverbose[39m: RESPONSE from [POST] /parse/requestPasswordReset: {
   "response": {}}

My index.js file for my server looks like this for the email settings:

 ....

    templates: {
        passwordResetEmail: {
            subject: 'Reset your password',
            pathPlainText: path.join(__dirname+'/public/assets/HTML/password_reset.text'),
            pathHtml: path.join(__dirname+'/public/assets/HTML/password_reset.html'),
            callback: (user) => {
                return {
                    firstName: user.get('firstName')
                }
            }
        },
        verificationEmail: {
            subject: 'Confirm your account',
            pathPlainText: path.join(__dirname+'/public/assets/HTML/email_verify.text'),
            pathHtml: path.join(__dirname+'/public/assets/HTML/email_verify.html'),
            callback: (user) => {
                return {
                    firstName: user.get('firstName')
                     }
                 }
             }
         }
     }
  },

Any insight as to what may be the problem or what I may be lacking would be appreciated. Thank You. Cheers, Trond
