You need to track it back from their email address. Have a look at the email header they are getting to see exactly who it was sent to, then go into Jira's user list and search by that email address.

You might find that there's more than one instance of that mail address, and one of them is on the reporter/assignee/watcher list.

The other thing that happens sometimes is a group mail - is this user in an *email* group (defined in your mailserver) that is set up to get email from Jira?

You should also check for listeners that might be sending extra emails, outside the notification system.

Thanks Nick, i did check in the email header and that user eamil id is not even there in the email TO or CC.

Then I searched that to email id in Jira user management, it is just showing only one email as expected.

I checked in listeners also we do not have any users added for listener capability.

is there any other solution for this problem.

Thanks

I'm sorry, I don't understand the first sentence - if the user's email address is not in to or cc, then the email was not addressed to them, and they should not have received it.

Could you re-check the header of the email - the address it was sent to MUST be in there for it to arrive, so you need to find that.

krishna keerthipati

Hi Nick, I mean to say email to cc does not have the email id of the user it has different esr that is actual reporter of that jira issue.

but the above email got to different user 'Janetta' also, who is not related in any way to this issue.

Thanks Nic,

This is the actual internet header of the jira notification email, took it from outlook->message options.

But in the above header I do not even see the email of user janetta 'Janetta.Romans@PacificLife.com' but still notifications are triggering. Will you be able to provide some toher solutions.

How to see logs of notification emails generated for particular user in Jira?

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Ok, that's great, just what we needed. You could enable mail logging at a higher level, and look in the notification table, but I'm afraid the problem here is outside Jira.

Janetta's email is not included in the header anywhere, so the email was simply not sent to her, it went to ShuSia. There is something on your mail server that is copying the email to Janetta for some reason. Could you check all of Janetta's email aliases and check ShuSia's account too?

You might also want to check the Exchange server for that message ID, that might tell you more about what Exchange has been doing.

Hi Nic, we even tried to notification help tool to find out why this user is getting notifications for any change in the jira defects, it is also showing that this user should not get any.

Is there any other so;ution for this issue.

krishna keerthipati

I checked with microsoft exchange server also nothing changed recently but this Jira notifications probelm was happening only from last monday (10/28) not before that.

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

The problem here is that the email is being sent to one person and arriving with another.

That is not an issue with the system sending the email. It's your email system doing something odd. It doesn't matter that your Exchange server has not been changed, it matters that it is misdirecting email.

I'm afraid you have an issue with your mail server(s) and you need to fix that.

krishna keerthipati

I am working on other solutions for this problem.

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Fixing the mail server?

krishna keerthipati

Mail server team is saying they dont see any issue with that user and i am in process fo finding how this user is unique in 100's of other mail server ot jira users.

let us close this discussion thread for now and then will reopen if any more assistance needed from you.

I appreciate your support and help during this issue.

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

I'm not sure that there is any issue with the user, but your mail server team are the ones best placed to explain why "email sent to person A is arriving in person B's inbox" That's where the problem is.

Anyway, good luck!
