no accessible config files for 'action.d/sendmail-whois'

Suddenly Fail2Ban will no longer start.

I just noticed the following errors (email@xyz.com is obfuscated for this post)

Error: Unable to save the settings: f2bmng failed: ERROR Found no accessible config files for 'action.d/sendmail-whois' under /etc/fail2ban

These should be built-in rules. Any ideas how to fix this? Plesk uses postfix, but this used to work ok. I did do a "yum update" sometime ago -- I assume that is ok to do? Perhaps "yum update" interferes with Plesk's own update system?

Thanks

I copied sendmail-whois* from a backup into /etc/fail2ban/action.d/ and this fixed it. The mystery is why these files disappeared in the first place.
