Just read, say, 64 bytes from /dev/random and base64 encode it.


Would /dev/urandom suffice?  Entropy can be in short supply in some
environments, e.g. VMs, and given it's MH it may be being scripted to
send a few emails in a short time.

heirloom-mailx uses /dev/urandom with a fallback if it's not available.

Cheers, Ralph.
