Paypal IPN not getting orders in ZC, no error msgs in logs

Sorry - missed that particular tool - three pages deep in one of the files you indirectly mentioned. So sorry to disturb your delicate genius with my trivial issues. Nice attitude, by the way.

In case it matters to anyone else, I got a timeout error running the IPNCheck script. The timeout occurs on the fsockopen statement. I just found that I am also getting a timeout error on an fsockopen statement in another (non-Zen) site on the same server, and that is not when trying to connect to Paypal. I think it that case it may be trying to hit the USPS site for postage information. So I am opening a ticket with the hosting company to see why the outgoing communications are not working.
I think they recently upgraded the server software (Apache), so maybe some default settings were changed.

Sorry that you thought my attitude was bad ... what else was I supposed to say? I already told you the cause of the problem and pointed you to the tools you'd need to use to verify the problem was in sending responses back to PayPal. The fsockopen timeout that the ipncheck script showed you is exactly the proof you needed in order to confirm that your hosting configuration is the cause of the problem you have.
Glad you've found the root cause. Hopefully your hosting company will fix the problem easily for you.
