Hence `%z` currently match literal Z|UTC|GMT only (and offset-based), and `%Exz` - all zone
abbreviations.
* `filter.d/courier-auth.conf`: support failed logins with method only
* Config reader's: introduced new syntax `%(section/option)s`, in opposite to extended interpolation of
python 3 `${section:option}` work with all supported python version in fail2ban and this syntax is
like our another features like `%(known/option)s`, etc. (gh-1750)
* Variable `default_backend` switched to `%(default/backend)s`, so totally backwards compatible now,
but now the setting of parameter `backend` in default section of `jail.local` can overwrite default
backend also (see gh-1750). In the future versions parameter `default_backend` can be removed (incompatibility,
possibly some distributions affected).

.RE
Using Python "string interpolation" mechanisms, other definitions are allowed and can later be used within other definitions as %(name)s.
Additionally fail2ban has an extended interpolation feature named \fB%(known/parameter)s\fR (means last known option with name \fBparameter\fR). This interpolation makes possible to extend a stock filter or jail regexp in .local file (opposite to simply set failregex/ignoreregex that overwrites it), e.g.
Fail2ban has more advanced syntax (similar python extended interpolation). This extended interpolation is using \fB%(section/parameter)s\fR to denote a value from a foreign section.

Besides cross section interpolation the value of parameter in \fI[DEFAULT]\fR section can be retrieved with \fB%(default/parameter)s\fR.
