Hi
What's in your conf?
Code:
action_ = %(banaction)s[name=%(__name__)s, port="%(port)s", protocol="%(protocol)s]
# ban & send an e-mail with whois report to the destemail.
action_mw = %(banaction)s[name=%(__name__)s, port="%(port)s", protocol="%(protocol)s]
%(mta)s-whois[name=%(__name__)s, dest="%(destemail)s", protocol="%(protocol)s]
All the
action_mw does, is adding whois info to the email it's sending.
Other than that, it turns on the mta option for sending the email, so I'd say look at your mta config -- have you ever received an email from fail2ban at all?
Cheers
