+# Fail2Ban configuration file
+#
+# Author: Steven Hiscocks
+#
+#
+
+# Action to report IP address to blocklist.de
+# Blocklist.de must be signed up to at www.blocklist.de
+# Once registered, one or more servers can be added.
+# This action requires the server 'email address' and the assoicate apikey.
+#
+# From blocklist.de:
+#   www.blocklist.de is a free and voluntary service provided by a
+#   Fraud/Abuse-specialist, whose servers are often attacked on SSH-,
+#   Mail-Login-, FTP-, Webserver- and other services.
+#   The mission is to report all attacks to the abuse deparments of the
+#   infected PCs/servers to ensure that the responsible provider can inform
+#   the customer about the infection and disable them
+#
+# IMPORTANT: 
+# 
+# Reporting an IP of abuse is a serious complaint. Make sure that it is
+# serious. Fail2ban developers and network owners recommend you only use this
+# action for:
+#   * The recidive where the IP has been banned multiple times
+#   * Where maxretry has been set quite high, beyond the normal user typing
+#     password incorrectly.
+#   * For filters that have a low likelyhood of receiving human errors
+#
