    Hey guys,

    Got something that is beyond me.

    I have ISPConfig3 latest version and all that, Debian updated and so on, no problems whatsoever!! By the way, keep doing a good job with ISPC, awesome CP!

    Right, the problem I am having is that I keep getting hits from an IP that was already banned via fail2ban.

    Here are the configs and logs.

    mail.log
    mail.warn
    fail2ban.log
    iptables
    (I've removed other banned IPs to make the list a bit smaller)
    jail.local
    Code:
    [sasl]
    enabled  = true
    port     = smtp
    filter   = sasl
    logpath  = /var/log/mail.log
    maxretry = 3
    findtime = 3600
    bantime = 86400
    filter.d/sasl.conf

    Code:
    [Definition]
    failregex = (?i): warning: [-._\w]+\[<HOST>\]: SASL (?:LOGIN|PLAIN|(?:CRAM|DIGEST)-MD5) authentication failed(: [ A-Za-z0-9+/]*={0,2})?\s*$
    ignoreregex =
    
    Did I forget anything?

    Anyway, how is it possible that my fail2ban log is filled with "already banned" and I can see in the mail.log that he is still being able to brute force login while it is being blocked by iptables?

    Did you restarted fail2ban after the change in configurations?
