MGENMID(1)

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.
