I've never used or looked at the banning stuff. But all the authentication and user set up is done in the Jforum.service method.
A quick scan thru the code indicates that the Jforum.shouldBan method is used to set up a call to the BanlistRepository.shouldBan. This walks thru a set of Banlist objects and compares ip, userid, and e-mail and seems to ban people if any of the three match.
That's my 5 minutes first look at the banning section of code.
Oh, I did notice a banlist.send.403forbidden config option. You might try setting this to true in the jforum-custom.conf to see if the problem is in the default "banned" action of the forums module.
