IPN problem Paypal - strange retour URL - Please help

Hello,

I have configured Virtuemart with the Paypal (Standard) payment method. Everything is working OK, except:
1. The automatic IPN is not received by the Virtuemart webshop (details below)
2. The manual IPN to the profile retour-URL is received and succesfully processed, the status of the order is CONFIRMED in Virtuemart (details below)

I am using Virtuemart version 2.0.24 and Joomla version 2.5.14. Paypal is tested through Sandbox and production. I have configured Paypal correctly with the following retour-URL:
http://www.domain.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=pluginresponse&task=pluginnotification&tmpl=component

I have checked the access log from the website on a test payment and see the following results:
1. The automatic IPN, which is not working, POSTs a message to the following URL:
"POST /index.php/webshop/pluginresponse/pluginnotification?tmpl=component HTTP/1.0" 200 - domain.com "-" "PayPal IPN ( https://www.paypal.com/ipn )" "-"
"GET /index.php/component/users/?view=login HTTP/1.0" 200 21738 meereboertradecenter.com "-" "PayPal IPN ( https://www.paypal.com/ipn )" "-"

2. The manual IPN to the profile retour-URL is received and succesfully processed, POSTs a message to the following URL:
http://www.domain.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=pluginresponse&task=pluginnotification&tmpl=component

So, the weird thing here is that the automatic IPN is not processed, but the manual resend of the IPN is. I see that the automatic IPN is processed OK and has a 200 code in Paypal. So something is working, although the URL for the automatic IPN does not make sense to me. Were does this URL come from?

Further details:
- The provider is not blocking any traffic as far as I can see
- The webshop is behing a Joomla CMS login (customers wish, see the GET result after the automatic IPN. It is being redirected to the login)
- The business Paypal account I am using is not verified yet. This can't be the problem??? The URL still seems weird then.

Can somebody point me in the right direction? I am lost here.
Hopefully I provided enough details.

Hello
It has to do with the URL rewritting.
Are you using another htaccess than the default one?
