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:

Using ‘FQDN:’ from ${MBLAZE:-$HOME/.mblaze}/profile (if set).
Resolving the current hostname.
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.
