OK, now that I have this working, I can verify that with 0.7, after enabling the mailing, the messages appear to come from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (obscuring actual domain). Is it the case that there is no option to set the sender anymore (short of editing the command that sends the mail)? Should fail2ban include some kind of dependency on a package that provides the mail command (I have mailx, which is priority important, and provides mail-reader)? P.S. mail-whois.conf includes # Destinataire of the mail # dest = root I think the desired English is "Destination" not "Destinataire". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
