I think this is still going to write to a file named EXITCODE=255.
IIRC the line after :0 is either a delivery rule (a folder) or an open
brace.  If you want to set a variable as a result of the match, without
delivering, you need:

:0e
{
        EXITCODE=$?
}

or more concisely,

:0e
{ EXITCODE=$? }
