Hello,
I would like to ask about fail2ban filters.
Why does emails sent from our server MAILER-DAEMON@myexample.com are viewed in the logs as from=<> ?
Our email system logs it as
"Recipient address rejected: Policy rejection due to null sender; from=<> "
which triggers fail2ban to ban IP addresses after few tries like that.
Thank you.
