Hello there ;)

just a quick question about dovecot jail and a notice in the fail2ban log

I'm running fail2ban version 0.9.6 on an openSUSE box 42.1

I'm using the dovecot jail:

[dovecot-cx20]

enabled  = true
filter   = dovecot
port    = pop3,pop3s,imap,imaps
action = %(action_mwl)s
logpath = %(dovecot_log)s
backend = %(dovecot_backend)s
maxretry = 5
bantime = 259200

and in /filter.d/dovecot.conf I also got the Init section for the 
journalmatch:

[Init]

journalmatch = _SYSTEMD_UNIT=dovecot.service

If i start fail2ban the log says:

2017-03-21 10:09:02,411 fail2ban.server         [30179]: INFO Changed

started without 'journalmatch' set. Jail regexs will be checked against 
all journal entries, which is not advised for performance reasons.

So it seems fail2ban is having an issue with journalmatch for dovecot jail
How can i fix this?

I also do not receive the log lines in the notification email. i t just 
says:

Lines containing IP:115.202.188.141 in /var/log/mail
but no listing of lines from the log

I have a similar setup for postfix with journalmatch and there it 
doesn't throw an error:

2017-03-21 10:09:02,739 fail2ban.jail           [30179]: INFO Creating

2017-03-21 10:09:02,759 fail2ban.filtersystemd  [30179]: INFO Added

with postfix jail I do receive log lines in the notification email:

Lines containing IP:46.217.64.108 in /var/log/mail
