I'm using fail2ban with CentOS 6.6. Something is causing fail2ban's

I used to get the messages that are now being deleted after five days.
Any suggestions?

I would suggest looking at the mailer daemon logs on both the sending and receiving systems. It would appear that the sending system is having difficulties at the receiving system end.

You will likely find the root of your issues in the log entries for that message (or those messages) that occurred over the 5 days in question.
