Bonjour,

Sur une serveur Debian 9 Fail2ban a banni un certain nombre d’IP suivant la règle recidive:

```
[recidive]

enabled = true
logpath = /var/log/fail2ban.log
banaction = %(banaction_allports)s
bantime = 604800 ; 1 week
findtime = 86400 ; 1 day

# fail2ban-client status recidive

Mais je continue à voir toutes les minutes des messages concernant ces IP bannies:

Comment sont réglés le temps de bannissement (bantime) et la période recherche (findtime) pour le « _jail_ » [postfix-sasl] ?

J’étais à 10mn en bantime et suis passé à 60. Le find est 10mn

Est-ce que tu as constaté une différence après cette modification ?  
Il faut que bantime \> findtime sinon fail2ban va sans arrêt essayer de dé-bannir des IP qu’il va bannir immédiatement à nouveau.

Mais je ne pense pas que ce soit la cause des nombreux _x.x.x. already banned_. La cause est certainement une mauvaise configuration de fail2ban et en particulier du _jail_ postfix-sasl :

- mauvaise configuration des ports ;
- mauvaise configuration des logs ;
- répétition du même jail postfix-sasl dans la configuration ;
- etc.

Il faudrait un retour du test de la configuration :  
`fail2ban-client -t`  
Et éventuellement une sortie de l’ensemble de la configuration :  
`fail2ban-client --dp`

J’ai fait plusieurs modifs simultanément et plusieurs IP se sont trouvées bannies qui ne l’étaient pas mais je ne pourrais garantir si c’est l’accroissement du bantime qui en est l’origine.

En réponse à tes autres suggestions:

```
fail2ban-client -t
OK: configuration test is successful

```

La réponse à fail2ban-client --dp (je ne mets pas tout pour ne pas polluer le forum):

Concernant les éventuels doublons:

Tout cela me paraît correct.  
Je suis en train de regarder les logs de fail2ban sur différents serveur. J’ai également des lignes _x.x.x.x already banned_ plus ou moins nombreuses. D’ailleurs la même IP que celle de tes logs est présente 😉

Ces lignes sont d’autant plus nombreuses que le temps de bannissement est faible. Je ne sais pas vraiment à quoi c’est dû.

Donc ces logs de fail2ban ne paraissent pas anormaux et n’ont rien d’inquiétant.

Ce qui est problématique c’est la répétition des lignes :

```nohighlight
0 0 RETURN all -- any any anywhere 

```

dans iptables.

Idéalement il faudrait fusionner ce fil de discussion avec ton autre sujet : [Précision logs iptables](https://www.debian-fr.org/t/precision-logs-iptables/80346)

Je te suggère d’arrêter fail2ban, de vider toutes tes règles iptables et de relancer fail2ban pour voir si le problème persiste.

**EDIT** : j’ai oublié de vérifier les ports et je vois :

```auto
smtp,465,submission,imap3,imaps,pop3,pop3s

```

Est-ce que ta machine est bien en écoute sur tous ces ports ? Sinon il faut adapter la configuration du jail, exemple sur un serveur où imap et pop3 ne sont pas actifs :  
[postfix-sasl]  
port = smtp,465,submission,imaps,pop3s

Les RETURN intempestifs ont disparu en relançant fail2ban et iptables. Merci pour ton aide Bruno

Par contre je découvre pop3s et imaps. Je ne trouve pas beaucoup de doc la dessus. Ca demande de changer les configurations MUA des utilisateurs ou il suffit de programmer le serveur ?
