 ### Fixes
 * `filter.d/exim.conf`: failregex extended - SMTP call dropped: too many syntax or protocol errors (gh-2048);
 * `action.d/badips.py`: implicit convert IPAddr to str, solves an issue "expected string, IPAddr found" (gh-2059);
+* (Free)BSD ipfw actionban fixed to allow same rule added several times (gh-2054);
