Email does not arrive at project email.
Summary
Email does not arrive at the project email.
Environment
Jira Service Management Cloud
Diagnosis
- Whenever the email is sent to create a ticket in JSM the email does not arrive at the email and the request is not created.
- We don't see any logs in the email audit logs.
- The email sender received the bounce email from "bounce@atlassian.net"
Cause
The prefix of the email account setup in the project is invalid.
Each project email ID is associated with the project in JSM and each email ID is associated with an inbox internally.
When a customer changes the prefix of the email it gets reflected in the database table.
When we change the prefix of the email, if we add a blank space before the name it saves the same entry in the database table.
E.g.
- "test@sample.atlassian.net". This is a valid email address.
- " test@sample.atlassian.net" is not a valid email id, but the same entry gets added to the database table.
When a user/customer sends an email to "test@sample.atlassian.net", Jira can't find the associated mailbox as the entry in the system is for the email address with blank space i.e. " test@sample.atlassian.net" hence the system bounces the email back to the sender.
Solution
Remove the unnecessary blank space from the incoming email setting as below.
