If I perma ban an IP bu using -1 for ban time. Does F2B_DB_PURGE_AGE purge that perma ban from the database after 1d? I'm kinda confused on what it supposed to do.

Thanks!

@Cookie-Monster-Coder Permanent banned ips will be never removed. See https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/blob/ccbc0c74051efc66f78f9d5ed6939444a0f55514/fail2ban/server/database.py#L893-L900

Hey, hopefully this follow-up is related enough.

Can you by any chance shed some light onto how this env var interacts with dbpurgeage, a setting in fail2ban.conf? I assume one overrides the other?
