!! If you get below warning message when you save IPN in PayPal !!

!! You must enter a properly formatted URL into the Notification URL field in order to activate Instant Payment Notification. !!

It is because PayPal Notification URL does not accept @  You need to change email format from xxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx to xxxxxx*xxxxx.xxx on Notification URL. (* will be replaced back to @ on our server side) then the URL will be as below

http://www.sms4mail.com/p/smsipn.php?email=xxxxxx*xxxxx.xxx&pwd=xxxxxxxxx&to=xxxxxxxxxxx,xxxxxxxxxxx&tz=xx&email_list=xxxxxx*xxxxx.xxx
