I think you are expecting that fail to be able to produce an SMTP time
error code - which is the ideal way to do things. Unfortunately
filters of any sort do not kick in until the delivery attempt - after
the incoming SMTP transaction has completed.
fail will cause a bounce message, to the original envelope sender

You have an undeliverable error reply - the docs say this is always
frozen for the admin to deal with.
You would do better to bit bucket the message - ie seen finish
