System keeps sending email notifications

[GJC Web Design]

You cannot turn off IPN notifications via PayPal

-> correct

I have switched off the IPN check on my clients sites till a better solution is found

-> turn off the IPN check in the VM Paypal plugin .. not Paypal

Yep set check to No in the VM PayPal plugin and also turned off in PayPal. But still getting regular confirmation emails.

What appears to be happening is when I created a test order on the site it sent an email to confirm. But then when the order was refunder via PayPal it then sent a Refund confirmation. Then for some reason it then send a confirmed email again and then a refund. If in some kind of loop.

I made 3 test orders yesterday and got over 90 notifications and they are still going but slowing down.

Sticking out my head right now, but I think you have to test without the CMSSmart checkout. It is a delicate plugin interaction that could give trouble if Your plugin does not make correct actions when called. All plugins are called and if some plugins take that call when it is adressed to someone else there will be trouble.

Otherwise there is some HTACCESS setting or setting doen by the host that blocks the return call to PalPal.

I have full control over the htaccess. I use Akeeba Admin tools.
I have added

Code Select Expand

components/com_virtuemart/notify_preorder.php
components/com_virtuemart/notify.php
the the exceptions.

originally it had

Code Select Expand

administrator/components/com_virtuemart/notify.php
Lets see if that make any difference

Look into any plugins you have - shipping - payments - cmsmart

The base VM paypal system does not continually send an email on a confirmed payment

April 9th and still we have no progress
