Your mail server is not responding to the JIRA server for some reason.  Connection reset can have many causes, but it's usually incorrect credentials or a firewall blocking access.  You should be able to read further through the log for more information on the error.

Hi Nic Brough

 

I'm having the same fault, but in this case for the test instance that has the same outgoing mail configuration as the production instance. In the production instance  the outgoing mail works.

 

This is the trace when trying to send an email to a user within the domain :

Then the mail server is choosing to reject it, although I'd expect a different error for that.  Connection reset still almost certainly means "your network is not connecting"
