I tried it according to the wiki instruction and it broke my fail2ban. I think the formatting needs to be a bit clearer.
The vpopmail-fail file should look like this. (For idiots like me that leave the definition directive out, doh!) [Definition] failregex = vchkpw-smtp: password fail ([^)]*) [^@]*@[^:]*:<HOST> ignoreregex = The jail entry cannot be like this (otherwise it complains, not defined) [vpopmail-fail] enabled = true filter = vpopmail-fail action = iptables[name=SMTP, port=smtp, protocol=tcp] logpath = /var/log/maillog maxretry = 1 bantime = 604800 findtime = 3600 needs to be like this: [vpopmail-fail] enabled = true filter = vpopmail-fail action = iptables[name=SMTP, port=smtp, protocol=tcp] logpath = /var/log/maillog maxretry = 1 bantime = 604800 findtime = 3600 Once I straightened out the formatting it worked perfectly!
