How to manually unban ip blocked by fail2ban

[drewb0y]

I ran into an issue today where my office router somehow got blocked by fail2ban. I searched high and low to find an answer to unblock it so I did not have to wait for the ban to expire.

Here is what I found:

when I executed

iptables -L

I saw that my IP was in the jail named postfix-spamers550

to remove it I executed the following command

fail2ban-client get postfix-spamers550 actionunban 111.222.333.444

Success
