erroneous mail server cannot be deleted

Deleted user January 10, 2018

I have in confluence V6.6.1 a mail server that does not work and cannot be edited in the mail server section (leads to a NullPointerException at com.atlassian.confluence.admin.actions.mail.EditMailServerAction.doDefault(EditMailServerAction.java:51)).

This mail server cannot be deleted through the administrator functions. When I click on delete nothing happens - no error message, no deletion.

Unfortunately this is the first entry so I suppose that no mails are sent by confluence because confluence takes the first server.

Is there a way to delete this mail server by force? Where is the configuration stored?

Hi Jean,

You may remove the email server from the database manually. It is stored in the bandana table.

  • Please shut down Confluence, back up the database and then run the query and start Confluence again.
  • I tested this query on PostgreSQL, it is simple so should not require much tweaking:
delete from bandana where bandanakey = 'atlassian.confluence.smtp.mail.accounts';

That will remove all your email servers from Confluence.

If you continue to run into issues, please let me know so we can take a deeper look.

Thanks,

Ann
