MGENMID(1)

NAME
mgenmid - generate a Message-ID

SYNOPSIS
mgenmid

DESCRIPTION
mgenmid generates a fresh Message-ID and prints it. The Message-ID consists of a timestamp, a random value, and a fully qualified domain name.

The fully qualified domain name is computed by:

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

2.  Resolving the current hostname.

3.  Using the host part of the 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.
