Since Mike Cardwell just proved me very wrong (and I even use $tod_*
variables in my own config; doh): you can get the first part of how Exim
would do this with: ${base62:$tod_epoch}-${base62:$pid}. The third part
uses $localhost_number and sub-second resolution time. Mix in as Mike
suggests for that.
