More feedback/bug/Q for you (I really like what I am seeing by the way)
I have been trying to get a fail2ban regex written but it was not picking up the ban HOST ip. I then noticed that the log timestamp is GMT (zulu) while system time is Europe/London (presently BST = zulu +1 hour). As I only have a 5 minute find time for the test it was not getting baned. Not sure if there is somewhere I can set the timestamp, I cannot find it if there is

In the logs, GMT is used indeed. Users' timezones may switch and that won't affect how server-side logging is performed.

That is really a show stopper. I have just spent three weeks on and off trying to debug SOGo not working with fail2ban which ultimately came down to a timestamp issue (I missed a setting in the configs which set the timestamp to match the system time).
On my live mailserver I ban failed logons for 10 years - I have nearly 1000 attempts in the last 6 months alone. Without an IDS like fail2ban, I would not deploy webmail8 (and I doubt I would be the only one) and I cannot do it without having the correct timestamp unless I am willing to manually change the fail2ban configs twice a year. I also cannot see why you would force GMT as the timestamp. It makes no sense to me. I am in the UK, so its not like its hours out, but US, Australia etc very different story.
I really think this is a bad design decision.
