Probably the lib64 one. The configure script shows the features
enabled like I posted before. So if it's found tcp_wrappers/libwrap
then you'll get the same as me:

"Use TCP wrappers .............. yes"

If not:

"Use TCP wrappers .............. no"

Either way I expect it'll do everything you need, since I think
it's just for the IMAP and POP servers that are also part of
Mailutils.
