Paypal keeps informing me that IPN failed about codeigniter-paypal-ipn

I ended up debugging further, and I think I discovered the cause, which I must say is just my dumb ignorance and overlooking the issue. Furthermore from this I would like to propose a solution so by default the error is not thrown until someone enables it.

The cause of my error 500, and failure with Paypal, was the following:

// Now construct the email
$emailBody = $this->smarty->view('confirmation_email.tpl', $data, TRUE); // You'll have to create your own email template using Smarty, Twig or similar

With the email portion commented out (for now) the IPN responds just fine, and Paypal is showing it working 100%, I'm not sure how before in sandbox testing this wasn't an issue, maybe something about paypals checking of the IPN response doesn't match production.

Anyway, for now it works fine, I have 'resent' the failed IPNs (eventho I had logs of them as paid), seems fine for now. Will re-open this issue if it persists.
