Email notifications not working in all scenarios except testing mail server

Luke Brothers August 9, 2023

Today I noticed users are not receiving any emails from Confluence Data Center 7.19.7. For example, @mentioning myself doesn't result in an email in my inbox or in the Confluence mail queue, and editing a watched page doesn't result in an email when I've configured my personal settings for this particular notification. 

My troubleshooting:

  • I found an outdated mail server was configured that failed to send a test message, so I added a new SMTP mail server and successfully sent a test message.
  • I deleted the old mail server. Now we only have one SMTP mail server that tested successfully.
  • I confirmed the Confluence Mentions Plugin is enabled, version 4.5.0
  • I have system admin permissions and view/edit access to the spaces pages where I added @mentions and edited watched pages.

Hi @Luke Brothers,

This looks similar to the problem described here: E-mail notifications not working, test e-mails working

Can you please check if this scenario and solution provided in the documentation work for you?

I am having this same scenario - I checked setenv.sh, I do not see the following within this file.

  • atlassian.mail.senddisabled
  • atlassian.notifications.disabled

We are running Confluence 6.9 server
