Hello,
I'm having a problem with Fail2Ban adding drop rules to the iptables chain despite having specific IP's and IP Blocks listed on the ignoreips lines in the jail.conf, jail.local.  I have even restarted iptables after stopping the fail2ban service.  The whitelisted IP's still end up showing up as a DROP rule.  Could someone please assist me with what I'm missing?  I have obfuscated the domains and first two octets for security.

Thank you,

Re: Fail2Ban ignoreip Still Firewalling Whitelist

Hmmm, it would seem that the source of the problem (still not explaining who is adding the drop rule with fail2ban is not running) is to do with SASL LOGIN auth failure.

Re: Fail2Ban ignoreip Still Firewalling Whitelist

In my case, I have a network in which many hosts are NAT'd behind a public IP.  That IP keeps getting banned.  I need to whitelist this SASL LOGIN failure.

Re: Fail2Ban ignoreip Still Firewalling Whitelist

You jail.local looks fine. please make sure you have this client (either an IP address, a CIDR mask or a DNS host) listed in ignoreip.

Re: Fail2Ban ignoreip Still Firewalling Whitelist

Hi Zhang,

I do, that's the problem.  Despite having that IP listed as part of the ignoreip, it still gets banned.
