            Bug ID: 10447
           Summary: NFR Fail2Ban qpsmtpd.conf: ignore greylisting
    Classification: Contribs
           Product: SME Contribs
           Version: 9.2
          Hardware: ---
                OS: ---
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: smeserver-fail2ban
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
        QA Contact: [email protected]
  Target Milestone: ---

On my server I added "ignoreregex" to /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/qpsmtpd.conf in
order to avoid blocking hosts that had email delayed by greylisting.

Here is the ignoreregex line I added:
> ignoreregex = logters.*greylisting.*90.*temporarily denied


This regex appears to identify 'greylisting' entries as tested using:
> fail2ban-regex --print-all-ignored /var/log/qpsmtpd/current 
> /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/qpsmtpd.conf /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/qpsmtpd.conf

I think I only needed to do this because I have 'maxretry' set low, 'findtime'
and 'bantime' set high, and 'portscan' (NFR Bug #10422) blocking IPs that
continue to knock on the door after fail2ban blocks them -- but I still think
that a 'greylisting' entry in the log is different from 'earlytalker' or
'dnsbl' (etc).
