Hi,

 

This is probably a simple error on my part but I can't get fail2ban to block
IP addresses listed in iptables.

 

CentOS release 6.7 (Final)

Fail2ban 0.9.2-1.el6

 

I have edited jail.local (only enabling postfix, dovecot and postfix-sasl
and changing ban time to 3600). Fail2ban is detecting offenders and editing
iptables. However, during the ban period, the offending IP addresses are
still showing up in /var/log/maillog.

 

Prior to installing fail2ban, I had configured the firewall with the
terminal use interface (launched by typing "setup" at the command line). The
ACCEPT entries for ports 80 thru 587 came from the TUI. My knowledge of
iptables is limited but I have learned to add blocking entries above the TUI
ACCEPT entries for them to work.

 

So perhaps the fail2ban REJECY entries should be above the ACCEPT entries or
maybe fail2ban isn't restarting the network.

 

If have tried removing the ACCEPT entries for 25 993 995 110 143 587 by
stopping fail2ban, saving iptables restarting the network then restarting
fail2ban but 25 993 995 110 143 587 are then all blocked by the firewall. 

 

What have I done wrong?

 

Regards,
