 # Miscellaneous suggestions
 
+To use fail2ban for your mail server, create `/etc/fail2ban/jail.d/mail.local`:
+
+```ini
+[postfix]
+enabled  = true
+logpath  = /var/log/postfix.log
+
+[dovecot]
+enabled  = true
+logpath  = /var/log/dovecot.log
+
+[sieve]
+enabled  = true
+logpath  = /var/log/dovecot.log
+```
+
+These are the log file locations we configured above, but you can set them to the syslog if you didn't give Postfix and
+Dovecot their own log files.
