You don't have to. Append your own rules in a new line and test your changed rule file with fail2ban-regex /log/file postfix and it should reply with text output like | 13) [3] warning: non-SMTP command from .*\[<HOST>\] | 14) [16] PREGREET [0-9]+ after [0-9]\.[0-9]{1,2} from \[<HOST>\] | 15) [10] BARE NEWLINE from \[<HOST>\] | 18) [5] lost connection after STARTTLS from .*\[<HOST>\] | 20) [19] NON-SMTP COMMAND from \[<HOST>\] | 21) [431] warning: hostname .* does not resolve to address <HOST> | 24) [71] RCPT from unknown\[<HOST>\]: 450 4\.7\.25 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname meaning that my rule no. 24 was found 71 times in my log file. If it throws errors in your regex, it will let you know in some or other way ;-) (One thing i never fixed was this: After editing my filter file, previously working regexes started failing, e. g. they didn't match any more - despite being unmodified.)
