Subject: [exim] Setting ACL variable to a random string
I've just discovered that $message_exim_id is not set when RCPT TO:s
are checked. However, I need some kind of unique ID at this stage.
It needs not be related to the future value of $message_exim_id, it's
sufficient if it's (very likely) unique.

Is there a better way to achieve this than using something like
${readfile{/proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid}{\n}}?
