Take a look to this old version of my patches:

   https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=171664153226279&w=2

You'll notice at the end of the diff in the message a little function,
generate_uid(), which I'd cut and pasted from the same
src/usr.sbin/smtpd/util.c file.  So, I'm aware also of getmailname() as
well as the another one required, parse_mailname_file().  I decided to
take another path for *many* resons I won't explain since you won't hear
them.

Anyway, as I told you, all feedback is useful, by pointing me out about
that function you made me realize why someone reacted with a *plonk*
message. ;-)  It's not the first developer to take offense at the
mistaken assumption that I didn't take their work into account.
