+ # be empty as the newly generated email address has not been
+ # sent any emails.
+ #
+ # When the function 'generate_email()' is called with the arguement
+ # 'true', it means that the function was called because the user

+ #
+ # We create a random username by taking the first 10 lines from /dev/random
