If you read the README that comes with it:
Notes on writing a filter program:
- If you want to block an email, exit from the filter with code 31.
  This will cause qmail-qfilter to exit with the same error code, and
  qmail-smtpd (for example) to send an error code to the client.
- If you want to silently drop an email, exit with code 99.
- The filter script that executes qmail-queue MUST NOT be setuid, and
  MUST BE readable.  Only the real qmail-queue binary needs to be
  setuid.


This seems to say that it will block email.
