Summary

In Jira you can set a sender email address at the project level. This will not be reflected in the global mail configuration. To find this in the UI, you will need to check each project.

How to find these projects and the sender email, that they are using?

Solution

There is no option to find this in the UI other than looking into the settings of each individual project, but you can use the following database query:

1 2 3 4 SELECT ps.propertyvalue, pe.entity_id, p.pname FROM propertystring ps, propertyentry pe, project p WHERE ps.id = pe.id AND pe.property_key = 'jira.project.email.sender' AND pe.entity_id = p.id;

NOTE: This query has been tested with PostgreSQL and might need to be adjusted for other database servers.
