I have fail2ban on my mail server monitoring Dovecot and Exim.
I have noticed that it has stopped banning IP's. I have seen in /var/log/fail2ban.log:

In /var/log/firewalld I got

Looking back at my logs, this has been going on some time. Any advice on fixing this would be appreciated _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
"ipset v7.1: Syntax error: '3600000' is out of range 0-2147483" This is the problem. You could try to reduce the 'ban' time (for whatever rules you have for dovecot) so that it would be in that interval and restart fail2ban service.
