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¶
Themgenmid
utility exits 0 on success,
and >0 if an error occurs.
