syzop 2024-04-07 08:04 administrator ~0023166	Yeah, my mistake, both ban user { } and require authentication { } don't support the new verbose mask item, only a user@host. I have updated the documentation yesterday to no longer claim it is a "mask item". To make it a real "mask item" is now tracked in 0006319. Thanks!
