Re: Email sync cause ip ban
Hello thanks for the quick response, i use microsoft outlook on my pc/macbook/smartphone. I have 13 mails in the macbook outlook client. Maybe the 13 accounts sync at the same time is the problem?
Re: Email sync cause ip ban
Probably some of them is sending wrong password, and fail2ban service block your IP.
You can see what email account is it with:
Find your IPv4 on https://www.whatismyip.com/
Or you can turn off fail2ban service:

I have over 30 log records saying this --> Apr 24 17:06:09 auth: Info: passwd-file([email protected] address.gr ,xxx.xxx.x55.120,<randompassword>): Password mismatch
I just reset the password for the email and i am still getting this, i am starting to think its a security issue ?

If it is your IP, you probably have some mobile phone, tablet, or computer, configured to access the email, but with wrong password (old password probably).
If you see IP that is not yours, well, that's normal, bots that do brute-force guessing passwords are everywhere... there are maybe million bots... scanning all servers... that's why we use fail2ban, to ban them.
