Topic: Whitelist and banned IPs

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 1.6.1
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer? installer
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: ubuntu 20.04
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):  mysql
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? yes
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====

Sometimes we got our mail servers banned. But besides the reason, my question is: If they are listed in whitelist IPs, why iredmail pro is ignoring that and ban the IPs listes there?

banned by iredmail system (fail2ban?). the thing is, does not matter which reason iredmail or whatever decide to put one ip in ban list, it need to bypass the whitelisted ips. and this is not happening.

Bans always have a reason.

So, what is causing the ban?

Re: Whitelist and banned IPs

If it's banned by Fail2ban, you can whitelist it in /etc/fail2ban/jail.local, parameter "ignoreip =".
