this is all over my syslog.

i dont see any filters in fail2ban.

How do i write filters?

i wrote a regex to capture all of that ip address

push (@matches,$&) while($search_contents =~ /$regex/gm);

Next is i need to find a way to create filter in fail2ban
 
i am seeing lots of SASL failures in my log files. But postfix-sasl never find any.
So i am testing manually the regex
fail2ban-regex -v /var/log/maillog.processed /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/postfix

This is result i got.
Running tests
=============

Use failregex filter file : postfix, basedir: /etc/fail2ban
Use datepattern : Default Detectors
Use log file : /var/log/maillog.processed
Use encoding : UTF-8
