The "sender" and "recipient/destination" addresses are in different files.
Look in "action.d" folder. It should be in directory "/etc/fail2ban/action.d/"
In that folder are all the various "actions" rules. You will most likely be
looking for the ones that contain "sendmail" in the file name. There should
be four of them.
If you open each one, you can edit the "sender" and "destination" addresses.
Look for the variable "dest = " and change the destination email address to
your own (or where ever you want the email to go).
Look for the variable "sender = " and change the sender email address to be
what you want it to be.
Once you change those variables in all four files, then restart the
fail2ban service and you should be good.

Hello,
I can't change the sender address of my fail2ban emails, by using
the config files. Somehow it uses the address fail2ban@ubuntu1404-64. I
don't understand, where it's getting the string "ubuntu1404-64". The
server has a fqdn hostname! Afaik the variable I want to set is just
called "sender". No matter what I try, either fail2ban is not starting
or it's ignoring this specific setting.
The only way to make it work was to hardwire the email-address into the
action.
fail2ban 0.8.11-1
ubuntu (server) 14.4
mta = sendmail
action = %(action_mwl)s
mail.log:
