RoundCube Fail2Ban Plugin

RoundCube Fail2Ban Plugin is a small plugin that will display a failed login attempts in your syslog or userlogins log file. Using this information Fail2Ban will be able to block a user for a set amount of time. The best part, the block is happening at the IP level and blocks the IP address, not the user they are trying to log in as.

This plugin dose not install or run Fail2Ban, but only provides the program with the needed log entries. Fail2Ban has to be installed and configured independent of this plugin so that it watches Roundcube's logs for failed logins.
