mgenmid — generate a Message-ID
Contents
Description
mgenmid generates and prints a unique Message-ID. The Message-ID consists of an encrypted timestamp, a
random value, and a fully qualified domain name.
The fully qualified domain name is arrived at by:
1. Using ‘FQDN:’ from ${MBLAZE:-$HOME/.mblaze}/profile (if set).
2. Resolving the current hostname.
3. Using the domain component of the mail address in ‘Local-Mailbox:’ from
${MBLAZE:-$HOME/.mblaze}/profile (if set).
If these steps don't result in a fully qualified domain name, mgenmid fails.
Exit Status
The mgenmid utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
