That means Jira can't reach your mail server.  Check that

  • Your host name is correct
  • Your network resolves the host name (try nslookup <host>)
  • Your network allows the Jira server to reach the mail server (try tracert <host>)
  • There is a mail server there (try telnet <host> <smtp port>)
