Found on GitHub a thread where it was confirmed that it's a known error and that's the right solution to solve it. So the question is solved!<br />

Hello!<br />
<br />
I've been having this little issue, after I've installed recently fail2ban on Ubuntu 14.04 <br />
Right after I restart fail2ban in the terminal I get an error message. Though I do get [OK], meaning that generally restart went OK. Still I wish to get rid of this probably minor issue. I get this error message:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28932539-1">WARNING  'ignoreregex' not defined in 'Definition'. Using default one: ''</code></pre>
<br />
After some googling, I found a possible solution. Which is to add this:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28932539-2">ignoreregex =</code></pre>
<br />
to fail2ban conf files in /etc/fail2ban/filter.d directory<br />
I've checked all the conf files there and I've seen that line in all of them, EXCEPT for one, which is <b>postfix-sasl.conf</b><br />
I have to add that [sasl] jail is <b>enabled </b>in my jail.local file<br />
<br />
So my question is whether the solution is correct and also I would appreciate some explanation of what it's all about.

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.

Linux Networking

The Linux operating system, in all its flavors, has its own share of security flaws that allow intrusions, but there are various mechanisms by which these flaws can be removed, generally divided into two parts: authentication and access control. Authentication is responsible for ensuring that a user requesting access to the system is really the user with the account, while access control is responsible for controlling which resources each account has access to and what kind of access is permitted.
