This has been discussed on the list several times, I think. The
"message" qualifier in the ACL overrides. This text was added to the
4.10 documentation:

   If "message" is used on a statement that verifies an address, the message   |
   specified overrides any message that is generated by the verification       |
   process. However, the original message is available in the variable         |
   $acl_verify_message, so you can incorporate it into your message if you     |
   wish. In particular, if you want the text from ":fail:" items in redirect   |
   routers to be passed back as part of the SMTP response, you should either   |
   not use a "message" modifier, or make use of $acl_verify_message.           |
                                                                               |
   If "message" is used with "warn", it causes a header line to be added an    |
   incoming message; for non-message ACLs, it has no effect with "warn".       |
