Let's see. That's 11 chars of alphanumerics and a timedate stamp. The
amount of bits of entropy in the 11 alphanums at about 6.3bits/char is
~69.5, or in other words, that system allows Jari to send up to
858993459200000000000 emails every single minute, 24 hours a day, seven days
a week, all year long, and still have a unique identifier for each one ...
