Depends a bit on your ACL settings. My guess is that you have an ACL
condition that looks like this:

    accept domains = +local_domains
           endpass
           message = unknown user
           verify = recipient


If you remove the "message" modifier, you will get the text after
":fail:" instead for aliases that should :fail:.
