Fail2ban for Mailservices

[Janko1000]

Hi,

i use Fail2ban for several Services. Now i want to protect our Mailservice eg: pop,pops,imap,imaps etc.
My Fail2ban Rule "courierlogin.conf" looks:

# Fail2Ban configuration file

# Author: Christoph Haas
# Modified by: Cyril Jaquier

[Definition]

# Option:  failregex
# Notes.:  regex to match the password failures messages in the logfile. The
#          host must be matched by a group named "host". The tag "<HOST>" can
#          be used for standard IP/hostname matching and is only an alias for
#          (?:::f{4,6}:)?(?P<host>[\w\-.^_]+)
# Values:  TEXT
#
failregex = LOGIN FAILED, ip=\[<HOST>\]$

# Option:  ignoreregex
# Notes.:  regex to ignore. If this regex matches, the line is ignored.
# Values:  TEXT
#
ignoreregex =

and my jail.conf:

[courierauth]

enabled  = true
port	 = smtp,ssmtp,imap2,imap3,imaps,pop3,pop3s
filter   = courierlogin
logpath  = /opt/psa/var/log/maillog
maxretry = 5
bantime  = 3600

but nothing happend when in /opt/psa/var/log/maillog:

Nov 18 02:41:00 phi74201 courier-imapd: LOGIN FAILED, [email protected], ip=[::ffff:123.456.789.000]

- Debian 7
- Plesk 11.5


any hints?

JFYI, Fail2Ban will be implemented to Plesk soon - https://plesk.uservoice.com/forums/...ions/3701028-add-fail2ban-as-module-for-plesk

1. your failregex is wrong, try this

failregex = LOGIN FAILED,(.*)ip=\[<HOST>\]$

2. you might want to test your filters with

fail2ban-regex /path/to/logfile /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/myfilter.conf

Thanks a lot

~# fail2ban-regex /opt/psa/var/log/maillog /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/courierlogin.conf

Success, the total number of match is 133

However, look at the above section 'Running tests' which could contain important
information.

Thanks for the note, but WHEN it is implemented?

Push for Fail2Ban as a Plesk Package
