We have a custom version of the PayPal payment provider (called PayPalCustom) and I want to check what the IPN address should be set to at the PayPal end.
and the the account holder received an email (or a number of them?) saying "Messages sent to the following URL(s) aren't being received". The email(s) were ignored and it looks like PayPal then disabled IPN.
So, I think the IPN cll back to our PayPalCustom was working, but PayPal checked the Notification URL, found it was invalid and disabled IPN. So, I need to know what to put in the Notification URL so that PayPal won't get upset and disable IPN again.
This sounds like it might be a change in PayPal then. The IPN notification in the paypal portal at least used to be set to anything, then the paypal payment provider actually sends an alternative notify_url which is meant to override that hard coded notification URL.
PayPal shouldn't be trying to notify the URL you have set in your portal, instead it should only be notifying the URLs that are passed to it when the payment details are passed to the gateway.
Might be worth checking with PayPal to see if this behavior has changed.
