- Centos will not allow me to run sendmail and postfix at the same time. I get an error in the logs saying that port 25 is already in use when both programs are running. This is why I disabled sendmail, so postfix can send out emails.
- To clarify, do I need to add " action = %(action_mw)s" in my /etc/fail2ban/jail.local file?

Additionally you need to configure the action to one that includes sending mail, my default action: action = %(action_mw)s -- René Berber ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Fail2ban-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fail2ban-users
