You are correct about the RT, its sendmail is very old and does not have
MX support. Sendmail on the 6000, however definitely does have MX, even
though it is still based on the old code. AIX 1.2 (that's 370 and PS/2)
as of a couple of updates back has a pure 5.61 port that I did. Don't
know if the 6000 folk will pick that up or not.

Basically I think its more an administrative lack of experience than not
having the code to do it.
