+## Synopsis
+
+`fail all quiet` `--meta` *`key`* *`value`* \| `--header` *`header_name`* *`header_line`* [ *`note`* … ]
+
+## Description
+
+The **fail all quiet** command administratively fails queued messages **across every domain** (every active and delayed queue in the mail system) according to **filter** criteria. Unlike **fail domain quiet**, there is **no domain argument**—only messages matching the mandatory filter are failed.
+
+**`--meta`** / **`--header`** matching follows the same rules as [**fail domain quiet** selective purge](/momentum/4/console-commands/fail-domain-quiet#fail_domain_quiet_selective). You must specify **exactly one** clause: either **`--meta`** or **`--header`**, never both.
+
+Any tokens **after** the `--meta` / `--header` clause become the optional administrative failure *note*, joined like other purge commands.
+
+Output reports how many matching messages were failed:
+
+```
+All domains purged. 742 messages failed.
+```
+
+<a name="fail_all_selective_notes"></a>
+
+**Important:** **`--meta`** / **`--header`** filter is **required**. Running `fail all quiet` without a filter is rejected. Global header matching has the **same folded-header limitation** documented under [**physical header lines**](/momentum/4/console-commands/fail-domain-quiet#header_filter_physical_lines).
+
+### Examples
+
+```
+ecelerity> fail all quiet --meta mo_campaign_id end-of-sale
+```
+
+```
+ecelerity> fail all quiet --header List-Unsubscribe mailto:list@example.com Purged obsolete campaign mail

+
+## Synopsis
+
+`fail all` `--meta` *`key`* *`value`* \| `--header` *`header_name`* *`header_line`* [ *`note`* … ]
+
+## Description
+
+The **fail all** command administratively fails queued messages **across every domain** (every active and delayed queue) according to **filter** criteria. Unlike **fail domain**, there is **no domain argument**—only messages matching the mandatory filter are failed.
+
+Matching uses the same **`--meta`** / **`--header`** rules as [**fail domain quiet**](/momentum/4/console-commands/fail-domain-quiet#fail_domain_quiet_selective): **exactly one** clause, either **`--meta`** or **`--header`**.
+
+When **fail all** is used (**not** **fail all quiet**), failed messages follow normal permanent-failure disposition (including bounce generation when Generate_Bounces is enabled), analogous to **fail domain** versus **fail domain quiet**.
+
+Tokens after the filter clause are joined into an optional administrative failure *note*, same as other purge commands.

+### Selective purge (optional filter)
+
+You may restrict which messages are failed by adding **at most one** optional clause **before** the domain name:
+
+| Clause | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `--meta` *key* *value* | Fail only messages whose message **or** connection validation context has *key* with exactly *value*. Message context is checked first; connection context is used when the key is not set on the message (for example variables provided through **XSETCONTEXT** during injection). |
+| `--header` *name* *line* | Fail only messages where the first MIME part has header *name* and **one physical line** of that header’s value equals *line* (useful when a header is folded across lines). |
+
+<a name="header_filter_physical_lines"></a>
+**Folded headers / multi-line values:** Matching uses **physical** RFC822 header lines only. Each continuation line created by folding is tested separately against the single *line* operand. There is **no** match against the unfolded header body as one multi-line string. The *line* you pass on the ec_console command is **one** token string; it must equal **exactly one** stored physical line of that header’s value (including typical leading whitespace on folded continuation lines). If your selection logic needs to treat the whole logical header value as one unit, prefer **`--meta`** or external tooling.
+
+You cannot combine `--meta` and `--header` in the same command. With no filter, every queued message for the domain is failed (original behavior).
+
+Any tokens after the domain name are joined into an optional administrative failure note (same as without a filter).
+
+```
