Of course. You said it all – craft the filter and the external command and you 
are all set. One of the beauties of this tool.

Subject: [Fail2ban-users] User user instead of ip

Hi!

Can I configure fail2ban to scan for usernames instead of ips?

What for?
Well, we scan for very high amounts of  (successful) sasl user authentications 
in a short time
(indication for misusage) and block the user on the active directory  … but not 
as good as fail2ban does this with ips

So, if I write a filter that filters for usernames and a custom action with an 
external command – is this possible?

Regards
Martin
