NAME

Email::MessageID - Generate world unique message-ids.

SYNOPSIS

   use Email::MessageID;
 
 

   my $mid = Email::MessageID->new;
 
 

   print "Message-ID: $mid\x0A\x0D";

DESCRIPTION

Message-ids are optional, but highly recommended, headers that identify a message uniquely. This software generates a unique message-id.

Methods

new
   my $mid = Email::MessageID->new;
 
 

   my $new_mid = Email::MessageID->new( host => $myhost );

This class method constructs an Email::Address object containing a unique message-id. You may specify custom "host" and "user" parameters.

By default, the "host" is generated from "Sys::Hostname::hostname".

By default, the "user" is generated using "Time::HiRes"'s "gettimeofday" and the process ID.

Using these values we have the ability to ensure world uniqueness down to a specific process running on a specific host, and the exact time down to six digits of microsecond precision.

create_host
   my $domain_part = Email::Address->create_host;

This method returns the domain part of the message-id.

create_user
   my $local_part = Email::Address->create_user;

This method returns a unique local part for the message-id. It includes some random data and some predictable data.
