Symptoms

Symptom 1:

After using Support Tools Plugin to send a support request, the mail queue will stop functioning and email cannot be sent out anymore. 

The following appears in the atlassian-jira.log:

Symptom 2:

When attempting to create support request from the JIRA instance, an "Error retrieving results" occurs: Internal Server Error


Cause

This is caused by a known bug within the Support Tools Plugin, as tracked within STP-138.

Workaround

  1. Disable Support Tools plugin
  2. Restart JIRA

Resolution

  1. Upgrade the Support Tools Plugin to the latest version, as this bug was fixed in 3.0.9.
  2. Restart JIRA.
tip/resting Created with Sketch.

As the mail queue is stored within JIRA's memory, any restart of the application will unfortunately lose that queue. Please keep this in mind that restarting JIRA will lose this queue. We have a new feature to persist the queue, as in  JRA-4665 - Getting issue details... STATUS
