fail is only available in the system filter - as is freeze. As an
individual user your only options are to deliver into a different
file/pipe/directory.
Shame really - I think fail should probably be available to user
filters, it can be enabled used allow_system_actions on the
filter/forwardfile director, but this also allows freeze which should
not be allowed for individual users IMHO. Having said that allowing
users to fail mail gives them a new gun to shoot themselves with - but
they are quite capable of causing havoc without that. You could fake a
fail by forwarding the mail to an address which will definitely fail,
but the error message returned will be confusing.
