You are working from an old version of the manual (and presumably an old
release of Exim). The latest release is 3.32. The manual now reads thus:
The interpretation of a system filter file ceases after a "freeze" or "fail"
command is obeyed. However, any deliveries that were set up earlier in the
filter file are honoured, so you can use a sequence such as
mail ...
freeze
to send a specified message when the system filter is freezing (or failing)
something. The normal deliveries for the message do not, of course, take
place.
This change was made at release 3.16.
