Cause
This is the case of e-mail bounce when the recipient's email address in not correct.
When the email is sent out of the system, we usually mark it as "Completed". But if there is a bounce of email because of the invalid email address i.e. the mail couldn't be delivered to the recipient's email address, then the rule is set as "Failed" so that the email address of the recipient can be corrected.
You can go to the logs and when you see the "Failed" Log for that instance, for that specific rule, you can click on the "Failed" link and you will see the error message why it failed: "Recipient email address not valid".

1. Go to the Accounts/Contacts work center view.
