Everything works fine ....

The problem was generating by the following entries:

----------[notify_isp.rb]-------------
#misc
TIME_LOCALE = 'GMT+1'
EMAIL_LOG_FILE    = '/var/log/notify_isp.log'
--------------------------------------

The file doesn't exists and wasn't generated by notify_isp.rb.

A friendly "touch /var/log/notify_isp.log" fixed the Problem ... *smile

----------[notify_isp.rb]-------------
#LOG_FILE = SSHD's log file
LOG_FILE = '/var/log/sshd/*'
--------------------------------------

This was a wrong path ... i changed it to ...

----------[notify_isp.rb]-------------
#LOG_FILE = SSHD's log file
LOG_FILE = '/var/log/auth.log'
--------------------------------------

... and everything works fine ....

I tested the script from the commandline like you told me ...

"./notify_isp.rb 83.13.106.66" and get no error in stdout.

Checking the manually created logfile (/var/log/notify_isp.log) shows me the 
following entry:

----------[/var/log/notify_isp.log]-------------

--------------------------------------

Just a few minutes after that, i received the following automatic reply from 
the abuse-adress:
