Good morning
Since I turned Watchdog on, I get almost 50 emails a day about banned ip notifications. I read in an older Github post there is a way to turn this off and it was going to be a switch in the UI but I haven’t found it yet.
I also read I can control the ban time and how to block an IP range entirely through the UI and I am not sure where I would find this. Is it in Fail2Ban?
Thank you and sorry for are probably very newbie questions.

    You can disable mails for IP bans in your mailcow.conf: https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized/blob/master/generate_config.sh#L280

        Hi,

        You can control that in mailcow UI via /admin -> Fail2ban. You will find settings for ban times etc.

        If you just want to disable the mail notifications, you may want to set WATCHDOG_NOTIFY_BAN=n in mailcow.conf.

        Have something to say?
