Hi all, I just see the useful mailman fail2ban jail posted bu jimpop : https://code.launchpad.net/~jimpop/mailman/security-logging <https://code.launchpad.net/%7Ejimpop/mailman/security-logging> But I don't figure out how to add a mailman security log which will contain Authentication Failure entries, and a web search don't return anything.

Can someone explain me how to do that ?

Hi,

There are many things that can break, depending on Mailman version differences, other mods, etc., so make a good backup first.

Download a "diff" of the security-logging changes from this URL:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jimpop/mailman/security-logging/revision/1375?s...

Copy the 1375_1374.diff file to your mailman/ home directory (the directory containing Mailman/ bin/ cron/ scripts/ etc), and then apply it with this command:

    patch -p0 -b -V numbered < 1375_1374.diff

You will need to restart mailman afterwards, and then check mailman/logs/errors (for any errors) and check to make sure mailman/logs/security exists. Then try a few failed login attempts on one of your lists.

Hth,
