Including some version info...

Maybe the publicUri property is no longer set on the server? This is
being used as value for the approval mails.

I'm not familiar with that property Benjamin. Where would I find whether or not it was set? Jazz config? Tomcat? OS?

Thanks!

Go to the admin web ui of your server, then choose Advanced Properties from the left pane and look for the Host name property under com.ibm.team.repository.servlet.internal.ServletConfigurationService .

Thanks Jakub,
That property was unset, and had not been set in any of the collection of archived teamserver.properties files on my system. I have set it to the server hostname and will monitor approval emails and report back.

Poking around has made things worse, but getting a little farther with diags... Since adding the Host Name property to com.ibm.team.repository.servlet.internal.ServletConfigurationService, no mail at all is leaving the server. Regardless of the setting or absence of the HostName property, I appear to be getting this exception in my catalina.out and jazz.log files:

Guessing that the OS upgrade (to sles 10.2) may have introduced some change to OS-level hostname handling, interface, or mod_proxy.

Found a hit for Jira with this error that suggested adding -Dmail.smtp.localhost=computer_name to JAVA_OPTS in the catalina startup script. Sounds like its on the right track - will wait for some kind of feedback before trying it.

Still looking for help.

Problem appears to be resolved by adding
-Dmail.smtp.localhost=computer_name
to JAVA_OPTS in the server.startup script

Still not sure what change in the environment caused the issue to surface, but we are now sending emails again.
