Uses for HOST in procmailrc???

1996-01-16 11:24:25
I recently saw a recipe to bounce email from a specific user:

:0
* ^From(_dot_)*johndoe(_at_)somewhere(_dot_)edu
{
EXITCODE=69
HOST=done
}

Is the value for HOST simply a bogus hostname? What in this
recipe actually causes the mail to bounce, and why are both
the HOST and EXITCODE needed? Apparently, changing the exitcode
to 75 will requeue the mail instead of bouncing it.

Thanks for the help. This recipe worked, I'm just curious *WHY*.
