fail2ban questions

Hi,

I have an fc17 install with a few fail2ban jail entries such as this:

[ssh-iptables]

enabled  = true
filter   = sshd
action   = iptables[name=SSH, port=ssh, protocol=tcp]
           sendmail-whois[name=SSH, dest=myuser at mydomain.com,
sender=dmin at mydomain.com]
logpath  = /var/log/secure
maxretry = 5

There doesn't seem to be a man page for this, and I can't really find
any local configuration documentation. How can I keep the rule enabled
but not have it send an email for every IP that it blocks? Is the only
way to delete the dest= and sender= options?

Thanks,
Alex
