ATM banip command is directed to the corresponding filter which adds a failure, thus banip command must be issued "maxretry" times for ban to occur.

It should instead ban immediately, probably by manufacturing corresponding ticket and providing it to BanManager (didn't look myself yet either current design allows for that). (Sure thing there is easier solution -- just to loop for MaxRetry times, but imho that is not ideal ;) )
