Instant Payment Notification Problems

I keep getting messages from Paypal saying that there is a problem with the IPN. So often enough, I need to go into the IPN area and reenable my service. The funny thing is that most of the transactions go through. Now what I see as the URL in the IPN area is not the URL that Paypal keeps saying fails. I have gotten no help from Paypal explaning why this is. Can anyone help?
This is what the IPN url message that appears in each of my websites as the point to url and below that is the message that Paypal says is wrong.
I would even be willing to pay someone to fix this once and for all.
Current settings for www.bulletinnewspapers.com
Notification URL http://www.bulletinnewspapers.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-member/modules/paypal_paypal.php
Current settings for www.norwoodrecord.com
Notification URL http://www.norwoodrecord.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-member/modules/paypal_paypal.php
This is the message Paypal sends saying I have problems. If you look at the URL's they are different. How can what I see on the screen be different from what they are emailing me?
Hello Paul DiModica,
Please check your server that handles PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN). IPNs sent to the following URL(s) are failing:
http://www.norwoodrecord.com/?paypal_process=1&mod=paypal_paypal
http://www.bulletinnewspapers.com/?paypal_process=1&mod=paypal_paypal
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.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Hello essabee,
Welcome to the Forums.
I am sorry you are experiencing these issues. At this point you can contact PayPal directly and speak to one of our Merchant Technical Support agents and have them take a look or you can hop on over to the PayPal Developer Forum to see if they can find a solution for you. If this will help out at all you can also review the IPN Guide. I hope this helps.
