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`][github-file-f2bjail].
Fail2Ban is installed automatically and bans IP addresses for 3 hours after 3 failed attempts in 10 minutes by default.
## Configuration files
If you want to change this, you can easily edit [`config/fail2ban-jail.cf`][github-file-f2bjail].
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`][github-file-f2bconfig].
The configuration files need to be located at the root of the `/tmp/docker-mailserver/` volume bind.
This following configuration files from `/tmp/docker-mailserver/` will be copied at boot time.
- `fail2ban-jail.cf` -> `/etc/fail2ban/jail.d/user-jail.local`
- `fail2ban-fail2ban.cf` -> `/etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.local`
### Docker-compose config
Example configuration volume bind:
```yaml
volumes:
- ./config/:/tmp/docker-mailserver/
```
!!! attention
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.

## Manage bans
You can also manage and list the banned IPs with the [`setup.sh`][docs-setupsh] script.
### List bans
```sh
./setup.sh debug fail2ban
```
### Un-ban
Here `192.168.1.15` is our banned IP.
```sh
./setup.sh debug fail2ban unban 192.168.1.15
```
