The following tutorial http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/vmassol/archives/000842_writing_a_jira_3_plugin.html explains how to send notification emails on custom transitions. This is particularly useful with JIRA 3 as JIRA 3 does not yet offer notification scheme events for custom steps of a workflow.

(see http://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=116700).
I have updated the plugin to work with JIRA 3.5. Please note that I'm an absolute beginner as far as writing java or dealing with JIRA plugins, so please test this thoroughly before using it in a production environment and let me know of any issues you come across.
I am attaching my updated jar as well as a zip file with the updated code. Note that I develop using eclipses and maven and so my source zip is likely to have some eclipse and maven stuff in there.

But, how do I configure it? From Vincent Massol's post, there is a screen from that I can add the post function to a transition. Where is it to add the post function and configure the parameters? Thanks in advance.

When in Workflow screen, click the Workflow "Steps" where you want to add this function and then the transition where you want to add the function.
There's Post functions tab. Click "Add" and select "Send Notification mail" post function. After that you can set the parameters.
I hope this helped you.

Update: the problem is in sendmail-function-mail.vm where the velocity macros being called are all out of date. It wouldn't be too hard to copy more current ones from the standard Jira .vm files, but since I was doing a custom mail template anyway, I haven't updated the source.
