# In the recidive section of jail.conf the action contains:
#
# action = iptables-allports[name=recidive]
# sendmail-whois-lines[name=recidive, logpath=/var/log/fail2ban.log]
#
# The last line on the action will sent an email to the configured address. This mail will
# notify the administrator that someone has been repeatedly triggering one of the other jails.
# By default we don't configure this address and no action is required from the admin anyway.
# So the notification is ommited. This will prevent message appearing in the mail.log that mail
# can't be delivered to fail2ban@$HOSTNAME.
