Topic: Things not working (f2b, sieve)

Lately I have noticed some things not working. I checked Fail2Ban today and it says its running, but iptables and the DB have nothing banned (and normally I have constant things banned atleast through SSHD).

Another thing I noticed is that I cannot load sieve rules through Rainloop anymore, it says they cannot be loaded.

I am not sure what is going on, and the only thing is I can think it changed in the latest update. I looked at the Fail2Ban doc on the iredmail site and the banned_db.conf file was not in where it says to download it to, nor were the settings in the settings files to ban setup with banned_db. What can I do to see whats wrong?

Please check fail2ban log file to figure it out.

iRedMail doesn't ship/offer Rainloop webmail, so better try to get some help from Rainloop team/community.

The F2B log file is empty, all the way back to the beginning of June every one of them is empty.

Restarting rsyslog service should fix the issue.

Unfortunately that does not seem to have fixed the issue. All other logs are populating fine, but all fail2ban.log files are empty.

I have also completely rebooted the server since my last post as well, and that has not resolved that issue.

Any related error in /var/log/syslog? for example, no permission to open log file, etc.

It was set to output to SYSLOG. I have changed that now and watched it over the last couple of days. Not sure what I did that fixed it, but its now banning and clearing on the correct timeframe (before there were also no logs in syslog, checked after I looked at the conf). Cleared up I guess. I will keep an eye on it and see what happens.
