Hi,
we are using _cart checkout with PDT method.
With the "return" variable we define the page, where the customer returns after successful payment as described under https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx_websitesta... .
This worked fine for the last years but since about March 13th 2017 customers suddenly don't get returned to our page.
Thus the payment is not recognized as successful on our site.
Now I tried to find the error by switching to the sandbox mode. Surprisingly within the sandbox everything works fine. So I don't know where the error could be.
Here some details:

The form used to send the information to paypal is like this:
<html><head><title>our-site.com -> PayPal</title></head><body> <form method="post" name="paypal_form" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart" /> <input type="hidden" name="upload" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="me@our-site.com" /> <input type="hidden" name="image_url" value="https://www.our-site.com/images/image-150x35.gif" /> <input type="hidden" name="return" value="https://www.our-site.com/paypal_pdt" /> <input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="https://www.our-site.com/paypal_cancel" /> <input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="https://www.our-site.com/paypal_ipn" /> <input type="hidden" name="rm" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="EUR" /> <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="DE" /> <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="us_Premium" /> <input type="hidden" name="cbt" value="Weiter bei uns" /> <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="first_name" value="My" /> <input type="hidden" name="last_name" value="Name" /> <input type="hidden" name="address1" value="Street 26" /> <input type="hidden" name="address2" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name="city" value="BERLIN" /> <input type="hidden" name="zip" value="10000" /> <input type="hidden" name="state" value="" /> <input type="hidden" name="country" value="Deutschland" /> <input type="hidden" name="email" value="(removed)" /> <input type="hidden" name="charset" value="utf-8" /> <input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="1 Monat Premium-Mitgliedschaft zum Aktionspreis - 50% Rabatt"> <input type="hidden" name="amount_1" value="4.49"> <input type="hidden" name="quantity_1" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number_1" value="9"> <input type="hidden" name="custom" value="67_uid3"> <font>Der Vorgang wird bearbeitet...</font>
So we would be glad for any help!
Thanks
