Fail2ban is installed automatically and bans IP addresses for 3 hours after 3 failed attempts in 10 minutes, see https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/blob/master/target/fail2ban/jail.conf#L58-L66 for these configs.

__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
|
|
```
