If this is handled by the pickup daemon, then it is a local submission.
When a local submission is rejected by header/body_checks then
it should be returned to sender, not get stuck in the queue.
The message will get stuck in the queue if you set:
internal_mail_filter_classes=bounce
The bounce will fail with a warning message that says:
Mar 5 13:21:59 bristle postfix/cleanup[2983]: warning: 14F4421727B5: bounce
message failure
And the message will be stuck in the mail queue.
There is a note in the postconf(5) manpage that warns against
setting internal_mail_filter_classes this way.

This is what it looks like on a machine that has no external
content filter:
First the local submission is rejected:
Mar 5 13:14:33 host postfix/pickup[2932]: C066321727CD: uid=0
from=<wietse@localhost>
Mar 5 13:14:33 host postfix/cleanup[2936]: C066321727CD: reject: header

Mar 5 13:14:33 host postfix/bounce[2938]: C066321727CD: sender non-delivery

And this is the bounce message:
Mar 5 13:14:33 host postfix/cleanup[2939]: CC57A21727CF:
message-id=<20150305181433.cc57a2172...@host.example.com>

(delivered to mailbox)
Mar 5 13:14:33 host postfix/qmgr[2931]: CC57A21727CF: removed
After this, the message is no longer in the mail queue.
