H'lo Uwe,

I don't know Tru64, hence can't say whether libiconv_plug.so will be
used.  My bet is that it is present for sendmail.  Since bogofilter
normally gets iconv() from glibc(), I expect it to work similarly under
Tru64.

For sure, since you have bogofilter built, you can run it from the
command line and see whether libiconv_plug.so is loaded.  My bet is
that it won't be needed.

HTH,

David
