I have a website I recently moved from a dev server to production. I changed all of the PayPal information over to use PayPal instead of Sandbox. I'm using Drupal 5.X and the eCommerce module. When testing on Sandbox I didn't run into any issues, but now that the site is live I've noticed a couple transactions never got completed. I ran a test myself and both the merchant PayPal account and customer show a completed status, and the ec_paypal table does not have an entry for an IPN received for them. Is it possible there is some intermittent communication problem between my site and PayPal or is this a problem with the eCommerce module? I'm not even certain where to start and we just went live! Any guidance or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you
Justin

Ok I'm an idiot. The reason
Ok I'm an idiot. The reason the IPN was not received was because we were in maintenance mode. Has anyone found a way to allow IPNs in while in maintenance mode?
