Need help setting up Fail2Ban
I followed the Getting Started Guide and onto Secure your server guide but got stuck at the Fail2Ban part.
After copying jail.conf to jail.local
I tired setting up email notice for Fail2Ban.
In jail.local:
I changed the destination email to =>
destemail =
sender email to =>
sender =
then typed in
sendmail -t
but nothing happens.
I haven't setup anything else other than stuffs listed in Getting Started Guide, do I need to install something for email?
And I imagine that I need to put the port number and password somewhere for Fail2Ban to send email from hotmail, but where..
