1) Please see below the aaPanel plugins logs, Mail Server, and Fail2Ban. You can see that IP address 213.209.157.121 is caught by Fail2Ban and added to the ban list. But in the Mail Server log connections are still incoming when they should be dropped.

2) Every time I do an edit filter and press save, your Fail2Ban plugin adds an additional new line before and after the filter in the /etc/fail2ban/jail.local file. If I edit 5 times, 5 new lines have been added before and after sshd, for example. See the attached image below.
