Rejected email requests due to 'bulk mail'

[zigojacko]

A lot of email requests are rejected according to the log and the reason given is 'Bulk mail'.

We need to receive every single email that comers to that address - how we can ensure that Jira does not take it upon themselves to auto-reject some of them?

Hello @zigojacko,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

This issue happens when emails are auto-forward or redirected and it generates the auto-submitted: auto-generated header and it causes Jira to reject those emails.

For more information about this, please check the ticket below. Also, vote and watch to receive updates from our product team:

• As an admin I want the ability to configure the *Bulk Settings* used by the Service Desk mail handler

It's possible to add domains to the allowlist, but it's not possible to disable the bulk filter, so emails with the header Auto-Submitted may still be rejected.

Please, go to Project settings > Email requests (company-managed project) or Project settings > Channels > Emails (team-managed project). On the top right, click on … > Manage allowlist.

 

Kind regards,
Angélica

Thanks Angelica for explaining although this is far from ideal as I have just explained to Simran at the Atlassian team.

I hope the issue in your system is escalated and treated with priority very soon because it is critical that we ensure that all emails can reach us in our business - as with any business.
