#F is the internet forwarder if you have a domain name.  The #F host provides
an MX record and either forwards MX'd mail directly or routes it to you
appropriately.

No software that I am aware of uses the #F line for anything real, but
if you're hunting for a friendly internet site to help you get a domain
name grepping for #F lines can be useful.
