So paypal is sending emails saying ipn transactions are failing, yet all transactions are working.
I have Paypal DoDirectPayment (for credit cards) AND Pay by Paypal IPN (for paypal accounts) in use.
This is what I think is happening.
If you have Paypal DoDirectPayment AND Pay by Paypal IPN, the DoDirectPayment will send to you IPN too, but mostly empty, to be ignored.
Or am I missing something?
Here is the email, (real url not shown).
==start==
'We are contacting you in regard to your #nd email titled "PayPal Instant Payment Notification Warning" which states:
>"Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN). IPNs sent to the following URL(s) are failing:
>
>http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php/cart/ipn/
>
>If you do not recognize this URL, you may be using a service provider that is using IPN on your behalf. Please contact your service provider with the above information. If this problem continues, IPNs may be disabled for your account."

==end==

I found out later the error was 500 internal server error on my end.
The CC would post back to my ipn url and the PHP page I had created had an error. (No human sees the page).
I fixed the typo and the paypal transactions were not longer complaining (used to say retrying now says sent).
-Cheers.

mallsop, thank you very much for posting your question and resolution.
I've encountered a similar problem and received the same email, but am not sure how to fix the issue. What typo did you know to fix? And which PHP page should I be looking for? In my situation, would it happen to be this one?

Unfortunately, I don't know much about fixing server issues, so thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
