For fail2ban, here's my jail.local entry: Thanks! I'm sure this will be helpful to several users.
I hope so. If I can spare anyone else the pain of spending two solid hours with fail2ban's configuration-system-of-questionable-judgment, I'll count that as a win. Hah. I grew up on pre-m4 sendmail configs, so fail2ban seems pretty middle-of-the-road by comparison.

I'm right there with you, olde pfarte. m4 sure did make things nice. I just expect much better configuration systems by now, for such commonly-used software.
The day I replaced my last sendmail instance with postfix involved no small amount of Scotch.
The all-time winner has to be amavisd. A configuration file that's actually a Perl script? Come ON.
This literally made me laugh out loud. 😁
