Profiles are top level containers for configuration. When a JEMH inbound mail handler is configured, a Profile will be selected from a list (so a Profile will need to be created before the mail handler can be configured).
A single Profile can route mails from one mailbox to multiple projects, thereby addressing a major scalability issue with the default mail handlers. Multiple Profiles can be configured if required.
Profiles and all their related configuration (with the exception of custom template references) can be exported as XML, for easy migration between environments as well as for support purposes.
Profiles contain a Configuration, that defines how JEMH processes emails, these are broken down into various categories:
Privileged User - In order to perform some low level operations, normally done under a human user context, a user with sufficient privilege to perform that action is required. This field specifies that user, which defaults to the person who created the Profile.
Places where Privileged User is required:
|
Strict JIRA permissions - By default JEMH will enforce strict JIRA permissions regarding updates. This means that any issue operation must pass valid authorisation (i.e., auto adding watchers requires EDIT_ISSUE). Disabling Strict permissions reduces some of these rules.
Allow Anonymous Commenting - Allows anyone who uses the issue key in the email subject to comment on a issue.
Default reporter overrides derived - If enabled, will always use the Default Reporter in the User section. This could be used to ensure users are not created.
Use email sender for security checks - A convenience feature, for example, an project lead wants to forward a user email into JIRA for issue creation, the project lead has permission in the project, but the user the email belongs to and who is being nominated as @reporter does not (perhaps STRICT security is enabled). With this enabled, JEMH will run under the senders associated JIRA user account for the purposes of security checks.
Treat Unprivileged users as non-Jira - This will treat users with no issue permission or right to use as a “email user” with the reporter being the “default reporter”.
Issue security level - If set, will apply a default issue security level to all created issues, applying some basic security by default.
Comment Level Security for groups - Enables matching of groups for security level checks.
Comment Visibility - Selects a project role or group. Naturally, these must be valid for whatever project an issue resolves to.
Comment Visibility Optional - This will set the comment as non-restricted when the commenter does not have the group or role set in Comment Visibility.
External Customer Comments Enabled - This will allow customers to comment on an issue even if they are not an issue participant
Project Auto Assign - If your mail server is capable of delivering multiple addressed email to a single inbox, eg abc@place.com and def@place.com, that if a project KEY exists that matches 'ABC' or 'DEF' then it will be used. This is the most efficient and scalable routing solution, allowing JEMH to support n Projects with just one configuration and mailbox.
Project Auto Assign from Subject - Allows users to indicate a Project Key within the Subject of the email. This would be captured by a Regexp configuration.
Auto Assign from Sub Addresses - With an RFC5233 format addressee (user+KEY@place.com), used to still support the above for KEY matching.
Default reporter user name - By default, JEMH will attempt to locate the JIRA user related to a given email, if that lookup fails, and user creation is not enabled, then this value can be used to provide a 'fallback' reporter. The Default reporter must still have the correct project authorisation in order to create issues.
Enable automatic assignee - If enabled, will look to Component, then Lead for an assignee, if a default is not set in the project.
Create users - If enabled, will on receipt of email addresses in FROM:, TO:, CC: create JIRA users and set with the relevant address.
User Directory - Defines the User Directory to add the newly create to. Use the DEFAULT (first available writable directory in the Jira User Directories list) OR pick a specific directory.
Require Sign-up Email - If enabled, Users passing the user creation checks will be required to click an acknowledgement link in order to have the account created.
Notify Users - If enabled, will email auto-created users, enabling them to change passwords etc.
Create User ID from - Provides control over how the user ID in JIRA is defined. At the moment, limited to:
Name
Alternate (future LDAP re-integration)
Alternate ID Provider - Defines the ID provider that should be used when creating the user Id.
Create from Email condition - This defines when the user should be created from an email. The two options are:
Always
Exist in alternate only
Allow user creation by email domains - A CSV list of regular expressions for email addresses that will be valid for JIRA user creation purposes (e.g.: .*@yourco.net).
Block user creation by email domain - Inverse of above, giving choice of pick valid domains or invalid domains.
Global Auto Join group(s) - A CSV list of names of groups that an auto created user will join. This list is absolute, so if jira-users is not included, the user will not have that group, have right-to-user JIRA, or count toward JIRA license.
Auto Join Group Condition - Controls when auto-joining groups occur. The three options are:
On User Creation
For All Jira Users
On Creation or For users Without Groups
Force userId Case - This will force the userId to be created either in lower or upper case.
Selected LDAP Config - Defines the LDAP configuration that should be used when creating new users.
Use Mail XHeader Priority - If enabled, the emails header X-Priority will be scaled by value (1-5) to the range of available Jira priorities
Summary - A fallback summary that will be used in place of an empty one (give that an empty subject will cause a rejection).
Comment - A fallback comment that is used in place of an empty one.
IssueLink type - Allows a default issue relationship to be defined, e.g. Relates, allowing reduced typing to link issues with Directives. The current options are:
Blocks
Cloners
Duplicate
Problem/Incident
Relates
Worklog security Role - Sets a default security Role applied to worklog notes delivered through JEMH.
Worklog security Group - Sets a default security Group applied to worklog notes delivered through JEMH.
Add Sender As Watcher - Automatically adds the sender as a watcher to created issues, not necessarily with right-to-use.
3rd Party CF Support - If enabled, JEMH will attempt to initialize 3rd party Custom Fields with String (text) values supplied. Problems with such initialization will be logged at INFO level only.
Add Issue Entity Properties - This feature helps mail clients thread Jira notifications in the conversation that drove their creation. It enables JEMH to store the incoming message Message-ID, References and In-Reply-To headers during issue creation
Default Due Date - Sets a default due date of issues created by email. Number of working days in the future.
Date Formats - Comma separated list of Java Date Formats to be accepted.
Date Time Formats - Comma separated list of Java Date and Time Formats to be accepted for DateTime Custom Fields.
Due Date Format - Allows an email specific format for DueDate. This may be overridden through Directives, if left undefined, must match the system default.
Issue comment limit - Restricts comments by email on any one issue to be no more than this value. Useful to put a block on runaway notifications!
Issue comment max size (Kb) - Limits inbound emails to a specific size, note that this relates to the COMMENT size only. Useful to stop runaway bot-generated chatter between JEMH/other.
Limit exceeded action - Determines action to take when set limits are exceeded, eg:
Forward to the Forward User (Notification section)
Reject
Truncate
Aliases are versatile mechanisms for providing short cuts to common directives, e.g. an Alias bug with value issueType=bug allows a Directive of @bug to be used. Additionally, Aliases can be used to provide a mapping from some other source that happens to match a supported JEMH Field Processor format, for example, if a remote system created a value:
Related Systems: this,that,the other
This value could be mapped to components by setting up an Alias components with a value of Related Systems.
Operating Mode - This indicates the mode that the Profile will run as. The current options are:
Create and Comment
Create Only (all messages)
Comment Only (conditional outcome set through MessageFiltering)
Catch Email Address - This is a specific address that should be found within the email. If this is not found then this Profile will not process that email.
Catch Email Headers - This is a CSV list of headers that the Profile should check when attempting find a matching Catch Email Address.
Non Catchmail Match Action - This identifies the outcome that should happen with the email when there is no matching Catch Email Address within the email.
No Issue referred in CommentOnly mode Action - This is the outcome that should happen when the email is not related to an existing issue. This option will only run when the Profile is in the Comment Only mode.
Use Reprocessed Message - Some users receive emails that are technically broken, having missing start boundaries and other problems. Enabling this option causes that stored message to be re-loaded and used instead, working around some of the problems found. This option also allows Pre Processing Tasks to be used when processing the emails.
Pre Processing Tasks - This is a list of task that take place when processing email. Some of these tasks are used to fix broken elements of the email e.g. missing To address. Some tasks allow for the emails to customised to provide a specific outcome.
Merge Re-sent messages - Once sent, if a message is re-sent, it is not a reply-to but a copy, enable this, to match the re-sent message to the issue (subject to Thread Matching Limits)
Disable Thread Checking - Thread checking correlates email's through reply-to fields, this field allows that correlation to be disabled, leaving just subject-based issue key detection as a basis for association.
Thread Matching Condition - This is a condition that is used to determine whether an incoming mail is threaded to an existing issue. Current options are:
None
Open Issues Only
Open or Resolved In Last 30days
Not With Resolutions
Issue Matches JQL
Not With Resolutions - Issues with configured resolutions will not be commented on. Only applicable when Thread Matching Limit set to ‘NotWithResolutions’.
JQL Query - Thread matching will be ignored if the associated issue does not match the specified JQL query. Only applies when Thread Matching Limit set to ‘Issue Matches JQL’.
Enforce rejection - If using create and comment mode, force rejection rather than create issue.
Notify of Thread Match Reject - When Profile operating is in Commenting Only mode, messages that do not resolve to a pre-existing issue will be rejected. If this is enabled, a specific customisation notification about that will be sent to the sender.

Template Sets allow configuration of all JEMH injected text and/or notification content, providing Subject, and Text/HTML content template editing as applicable.
To be clear, JEMH Templates are not replacements for JIRA email templates and do not change them, primarily this is due to a 'bug' that the default Atlassian Issue Event Listener cannot be removed/replaced JRA-19957.
JEMH contains velocity templates for its notifications within the plugin. TemplateSets provide a means for the end user to customise the content of emails sent by JEMH without requiring unpacking /repacking/ redeploying of the plugin. JEMH allows customisation to vary, so that different projects can receive different styles (though at this time, JEMH does not help you design those emails).
This is a simple comment header that prefixes inbound email descriptions/comments indicating that the value came via email, and who it was supposedly sent from:
@Since 1.2
Issue Event templates are also included, specifically for use with non JIRA account holder notifications.
Issue Event Templates, unlike JEMH Templates are not bundled with JEMH, they are read from JIRA. When an Issue Event Template Set is created, a snapshot of the current JIRA Template is made, allowing that particular template to be customized for one particular project, or shared across several. Future changes in JIRA may require maintenance to these templates, that work must be accepted as part of upgrade testing!
The Issue Event templates are located in JIRA under $JIRA_INSTALL/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/templates/email/...
JEMH Issue Event Template Sets provide a means to not only customize the Text and HTML content, but also the subject, to a point. Rendered templates are the same as JIRA users receive.
The HintOgram optional mechanism is JEMH's way of communicating processing failure. Due to the noise that this can create, these notifications can be routed to an admin (who could perhaps fix the problem or communicate to the user that priority: broken is not valid).
HintOgram emails look like:
HTML | Text |
|---|---|
| |
Forwarded mail is sent on by JEMH to a nominated user email address, in the format selected as preferred by that user. The templates are currently 'functional' but can be customised.
JEMH Profiles define how most TemplateSets are used, if the 'Default' is selected, the uncustomized 'internal' default JEMH template is used.
why are 'Create Issue' notifications in JEMH Profiles?Due to JEMH heritage, the issue created event was the first created, and is driven by JEMH after it has finished doing everything. Currently JEMH does issue creation in two stages, 1) creation, and 2) setting various custom fields. At this time, the Issue Event notification can't send out notifications to non JIRA account holders in response to emails because the custom fields are not populated at the time that (1) occurs. The Issue Event listener config does list issue created, as it is possible that a JIRA user may create an issue, and manually include non-jira user email addresses. This will be fixed at some point after all key features are in place. |
Test Cases allow rapid testing of email content against configurations and completely bypasses inbound mail handlers, so a configuration can be validated before being hooked up to the outside world. A TestCase email is the native raw text email content that travels over the wire, not just content. Test Cases can be generated from Audit log information for problem diagnosis.
Notifications are configured on a per project basis to notify users by email addresses found in a custom field (that JEMH can be configured to populate on the way in). Notifications can use default templates, or make use of customised content through the Issue Event Template Sets.
An initial implementation of GPG Security for signed email validation. This implementation natively executes GPG binaries, and has been validated on Linux only, other platforms should work.
Auditing allows a historic view over processed data, enabling tracing of an email to an issue.
An audit log for the processing is available that @Since 1.2 contains any Hints that were generated as part of processing that may have caused the processing to fail for some reason (e.g. reporter doesn't have correct permissions for action).
All inbound mail is captured and stored (on the file system under JIRA_HOME/data/jemh) irrespective of processing status
Audit mail can be exported (for support/diagnostic purposes) as well as being converted into a Test Case for local configuration testing.
@Since 1.2
