Fail2ban is installed automatically and bans IP addresses for 3 hours after 3 failed attempts in 10 minutes by default. If you want to change this, you can easily edit [config/fail2ban-jail.cf](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/blob/master/config/fail2ban-jail.cf).

|
You can do the same with the values from fail2ban.conf, e.g dbpurgeage. In that case you need to edit [config/fail2ban-fail2ban.cf](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/blob/master/config/fail2ban-fail2ban.cf)

__Important__: The mail container must be launched with the NET_ADMIN capability in order to be able to install the iptable rules that actually ban IP addresses. Thus either include `--cap-add=NET_ADMIN` in the docker run commandline or the equivalent docker-compose.yml:
|
|
```
|
|
cap_add:
|
|
- NET_ADMIN
|
|
```
|
|
If you don't you will see errors of the form
|
|
```
|
|

You can also manage and list the banned IPs with the [setup.sh](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/wiki/Setup-docker-mailserver-using-the-script-setup.sh) script. |
