Dear Maintainer,

The default value of the destemail configuration in the mail.conf should be only "root" instead of "root@localhost".
This is a "standard" used in several debian packages.
Mail softwares like postfix when alias root user extenal address ends with:
root@localhost.myhost.mydomain.com insted of root@myhost.mydomain.com.

Thank you,

Dudytz

Sorry for the mistake, the correct configuration file is the jail.conf.

I'm not sure yet if it's a bug, but current fail2ban versions still use
this in jail.conf:

   destemail = root@localhost
