Yehuda - Thanks. My google search originally led me to https://sourceforge.net/projects/fail2ban/, which is no longer in use. Perhaps the powers that be, should close down that page. - Mark

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.

    Hi - How do I submit a bug report for fail2ban?  I want to report a
    problem with the email message which is generated by complain.conf
    action.  Below is an example of the message it generates.

    Note that the first line has a typo.  It says "according to a
    abusix.com <http://abusix.com>
    is on your network".

    In the line "This mail was generated by Fail2Ban."  There is an
    unnecessary space at the start of the line, and there probably
    should be
    a line break after that line, to separate it from the next paragraph.
    And I think it should show "was automatically generated". There is no
    line in the email messages, which indicates that the message is
    automatically generated, and I think there should be one.

    In that next paragraph, there is an unnecessary line break after
    "https://abusix.com/global-reporting/abuse-contact-db";.
