Scheint also ob es ein generelles Problem ist weil iptables (Debian Stretch) mit dem Standart Eintrag imap3 in der jail.local ( auch original jail.conf) nicht zurechtkommt.
Nachdem ich den in imap geändert habe klappt es
iptables -w -A f2b-courier-auth -j RETURN
iptables -w -I INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --dports smtp,465,submission,imap3,imaps,pop3,pop3s -j f2b-courier-auth -- stdout: b''
