The local part of the ID can be generated in the usual way: date and time
in seconds, followed by a (possibly random) number.

For the domain part there should be two options: either the user uses his
own domain (e.g. I would use "@anzinger.com") or (by default) the current
hostname is used (e.g. "@pD9502106.dip.t-dialin.net") or the current IP
address (e.g. "@[217.80.33.6]") if it doesn't resolve to a hostname.

Is there any problem with this?
