    Hi,

    I have been using the plugin to receive IPN from paypal. I was able to get it working in sandbox mode but when I move it to live and send an IPN call it fails. In the report from paypal it says there is a 406 error. I enabled debugging mode but I receive no message. I’m not sure if this is a problem specific to my instance. Does anyone know how I could fix this issue?

    Thanks!

    I know this has been 4 months since posted, but for the benefit of anyone who finds this…

    When PayPal reports the IPNs are returning a 406 error, this is often related to mod_security on your web server blocking the request due to thinking it’s a hacker/spammer. Contact your ISP, ask them to review the mod_security logs, and if that is the case, then have them whitelist the PayPal IPs listed under “notify.paypal.com” here: https://ppmts.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/92
