+# Fail2Ban action for sending xarf Login-Attack messages to IP owner
+#
+# IMPORTANT: 
+# 
+# Emailing a IP owner of abuse is a serious complain. Make sure that it is
+# serious. Fail2ban developers and network owners recommend you only use this
+# action for:
+#   * The recidive where the IP has been banned multiple times
+#   * Where maxretry has been set quite high, beyond the normal user typing
+#     password incorrectly.
+#   * For filters that have a low likelyhood of receiving human errors
+#
+# DEPENDANCIES:
+#
+# This requires the dig command from bind-utils
+#
+# This uses the https://abusix.com/contactdb.html to lookup abuse contacts.
+#
+# XARF is a specification for sending a formatted response
+# for non-messaging based abuse including:
+#
+# Login-Attack, Malware-Attack, Fraud (Phishing, etc.), Info DNSBL
+#
+# For details see:
+# https://github.com/abusix/xarf-specification
