Normaly you have to convert the incomming string (probably UTF-16) to
UTF-8. This can be added to LDAP and qmail-reply will do the right thing.
qmail-reply uses UTF-8 as default encoding. For other encodings you should
have to modify qmail-ldap.h
For my scripts I use this stupid perl script to convert the ISO latin1
chars to utf8 (I never had to deal with chinese chars):
#!/usr/bin/perl
use encoding "latin1", STDOUT => "utf8";
while(<>){print};
There is a man page for encoding installed with perl with some hints on
how to use it.
