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 logging target to /var/log/fail2ban.log for Fail2ban v0.9.6 2017-03-21 10:09:02,412 fail2ban.database [30179]: INFO Connected to fail2ban persistent database '/var/lib/fail2ban/fail2ban.sqlite3' ... 2017-03-21 10:09:02,912 fail2ban.jail [30179]: INFO Creating new jail 'dovecot-cx20' 2017-03-21 10:09:02,913 fail2ban.jail [30179]: INFO Jail 'dovecot-cx20' uses systemd {} 2017-03-21 10:09:02,917 fail2ban.jail [30179]: INFO Initiated 'systemd' backend 2017-03-21 10:09:02,918 fail2ban.filter [30179]: INFO Set maxRetry = 5 2017-03-21 10:09:02,920 fail2ban.filter [30179]: INFO Set jail log file encoding to UTF-8 2017-03-21 10:09:02,920 fail2ban.actions [30179]: INFO Set banTime = 259200 2017-03-21 10:09:02,921 fail2ban.filter [30179]: INFO Set findtime = 600 2017-03-21 10:09:02,957 fail2ban.filtersystemd [30179]: INFO Added journal match for: '_SYSTEMD_UNIT=dovecot.service' 2017-03-21 10:09:02,978 fail2ban.filtersystemd [30179]: NOTICE Jail 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 new jail 'postfix-sasl-cx20' 2017-03-21 10:09:02,739 fail2ban.jail [30179]: INFO Jail 'postfix-sasl-cx20' uses systemd {} 2017-03-21 10:09:02,744 fail2ban.jail [30179]: INFO Initiated 'systemd' backend 2017-03-21 10:09:02,746 fail2ban.filter [30179]: INFO Set maxRetry = 5 2017-03-21 10:09:02,747 fail2ban.filter [30179]: INFO Set jail log file encoding to UTF-8 2017-03-21 10:09:02,748 fail2ban.actions [30179]: INFO Set banTime = 259200 2017-03-21 10:09:02,749 fail2ban.filter [30179]: INFO Set findtime = 3600 2017-03-21 10:09:02,759 fail2ban.filtersystemd [30179]: INFO Added journal match for: '_SYSTEMD_UNIT=postfix.service' with postfix jail I do receive log lines in the notification email: Lines containing IP:46.217.64.108 in /var/log/mail 2017-03-21T10:11:39.631356+01:00 cx20 postfix/smtpd[29196]: connect from unknown[46.217.64.108] 2017-03-21T10:11:40.311477+01:00 cx20 postfix/smtpd[29196]: NOQUEUE: reject_warning: RCPT from unknown[46.217.64.108]: 450 4.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname, [46.217.64.108]; from=<jac...@b4pph115.bnr.ca> to=<mota...@sadsadas.de> proto=ESMTP helo=<[46.217.64.108]> 2017-03-21T10:11:40.420446+01:00 cx20 postfix/smtpd[29196]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[46.217.64.108]: 554 5.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host [46.217.64.108] blocked using bl.spamcop.net; Blocked - see http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml?46.217.64.108; from=<jac...@b4pph115.bnr.ca> to=<mota...@sdsad.de> proto=ESMTP helo=<[46.217.64.108]> thanks & greetings Becki ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Fail2ban-users mailing list Fail2ban-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fail2ban-users
