If you think it is something you can fix yourself, make sure you are using the most up-to-date copy of complain.conf ( https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/blob/master/config/action.d/complain.conf) and that your mail server or client isn't making any changes to the mail as it processes it (for example, Microsoft Outlook sometimes removed whitespace that it thinks is unnecessary which could result in an odd looking message). Then you can submit a pull request on GitHub with changes.
