Let's start simple:
1. Which service are you monitoring (to ban)? You can post the
relevant entries from your jail file.
2. What do those emails tell you? That it is working or is boink? Or
that it really wants to ban something but can't?
3. What does the log file say? It should say something when it starts
and when it catches something. And then when it tries to ban
something.
