What is the difference between "failure" and "error" replies with
respect to RFC *821?

I never thought about it much, but I'd expect that "error" means "something
that will get you a 5xx response back" and "failure" means "a 4xx or 5xx
response".

Or it could just be fuzzy thinking/editing conflating the two terms....
