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.
