Notifications not working after Jira upgrade (only in Software Projects)

Hi everyone,

we recently performed a Jira Software (Data Center) upgrade and are currently facing a critical issue:

Email notifications are no longer working in Software Projects, while Jira Service Management (JSM) notifications are unaffected (but use a different mail channel).

  • Environment:
  • Jira Software (Data Center)

  • Mail configuration via SMTP (test mails are working fine)

  • Notifications worked before the upgrade

  • The issue started immediately after the upgrade

  • What works:
  • SMTP test mail: successfully.

  • Notifications in Service Desk (JSM) projects are working as expected.

  • Notification Schemes appear to be configured correctly.

  • Domain whitelisting has been tested (e.g. *@XY.at, *@XY.inet) without effect.


  • Are there any known issues with notifications in Software Projects after recent upgrades?

  • Could this relate to a plugin conflict (e.g., S/Notify)?

  • Is it possible that background mail processing or batching was affected during upgrade?

  • Any logs or diagnostics you recommend focusing on?

 

We're happy to share more logs or config details if needed.
Thank you in advance for any help or pointers! 🙏

As you mention S/Notify:

Although there should be no problem with the S/Notify plugin, since a Jira upgrade usually removes the mailer library, have you re-installed the library afterwards? However, as this shouldn't prevent that emails are sent out at all, it is more or less as hot in the dark.

May I also suggest that you check the S/Notify troubleshooting guides and/or reach out to our excellent support desk. (Yes, we are proud of it :)

Thanks for the pointer. I have adjusted the username, but it doesn't seem to show up (yet)?

Edit: Oh, now it does.
