Hmm. The configuration for "OSF1" (what is now Tru64) contains

#define SOCKLEN_T    size_t


which is supposed to cope with this. Oh! you are talking about 4.30.
This is fixed in 4.31.

But 4.32 will be out fairly soon to fix some other things; you might as
well wait at this stage.

That's impossible. A configuration error prevents Exim from starting up.
I suspect an old version is still running.

What does

/local/src/exim/exim-4.30-TLS/build-OSF1-alpha/exim -bV

say? It should list TLS if it supports it.
