NAME
mgenmid — generate a Message-ID
SYNOPSIS
mgenmid
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.
