Jira Creating An Issue From an Email with a .zip attachment

David Lawless_vn4pe3

Hi, we are using JIRA 6.3.10. I'm trying to set up a mail handler to automatically create emails when received in an outlook email account.

It is working well but have come across an issue with an email which contained both a .xlsx file and a .zip file. The Issue was created in JIRA but without the attachments. An automated comment was added to the issue by Anonymous - "An error occurred while adding attachments to this issue from the source email. Please check the attachments and re-send the email".

The problem seems to be the.zip file. I tried sending the email again but without the zip file and the issue created fine with the xlsx attached. I was able to then manually attach the zip file.

I tried sending the email with only the zip file and once again an issue was created minus the attachment but with the Anonymous ocmment added again.

Any ideas how I can configure so that the zip file is attached via the create from email route.

Hi,

I'd suggest you make sure JIRA is rejecting ZIP file. In my case, mail server was rejecting .ZIP, so JIRA was filtering an email without attachment.

I hope be useful.

Thanks for your response. It's definitely JIRA as I can see the email in the inbox with the attachments prior to JIRA knowing it's there. As soon as JIRA picks it up the issue is created (minus attachment) and the email then gets deleted (as expected).

Could you see a warning or error in log? Maybe the reason is attachment size. Is it happen with any size? I'd suggest you check attachment maximum size: https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/configuring-attachment-size-150040.html

I hope be useful.

Hi,

I'm apologizing for answering to an old toppic like this, but I'm experiencing the same problem here and wasn't able to find a sulution until now.

- its definitely only the zip files that cannot be attached and are causing the problem

- the zip file ist definitely included in the mail and it's definitely JIRA and not the mail server thats rejecting/not processing the file, as I can see the email in the inbox with the attachments prior to JIRA knowing it's there (like David was already mentioning)
