That was mine, and no it doesn't have /dev/random. But, as I said
earlier, I'd prefer to opt-out of this whole cryptographic host part
concept anyway.
It's not cryptographic, it's just a case of trying to achieve uniqueness
without too much effort. The world won't end if message-ids collide.
And don't get too caught up with local vs. host parts of message-id
strings. The idea of <mumble@host> was an inexpensive way to generate a
unique qualifier for the entropy, back when entropy was expensive. Today,
entropy is cheap, so any opaque random string works fine. The only reason
we keep the '@' requirement is for compatibility with software written to
previous versions of the *822 specifications.
