Hello, some times it occors that som IP-addresses are not able to access the server (va HTTPS/HTTP to use webmail), but after a while 30-60 min. it starts to work again. Is it som kind of protection/ban-list on the server that could prevent this (that resets after 30-60 min)?

iRedMail enables Fail2ban software/daemon to monitor log files, if someone has multiple password failures, it will invoke iptables to ban IP address of this client.

Its config files are placed under /etc/fail2ban/, main file is 'jail.local'.
