want mh for RT/PC running AIX (system V clone)

I have an RT/PC, running AIX version 2.1 (a system V look-alike).  It is
connected to an ethernet, and has SMTP, but the programs that interface to
it are bad (for sending mail) and just won't work at all (for receiving
mail, since AIX 2.1 TCP/IP software isn't fully domainised and the rest
of campus is).   I have a copy of MH 6.5, but the standalone version of
it won't send mail to other machines.  I don't have sendmail or mmdf.

Ideally, what I would like is to find someone who has gotten mh working
on such a beast, or at least can give me a few pointers to where to start
patching the standalone mh to work with SMTP.  A public domain version of
mmdf or sendmail that'll work with our smtp would be nice, if that's a
reasonable thing to ask for.

I can give a more detailed explanation of how mail is supposed to work
on AIX if you send me mail (I'm sending this from a 780; it works); there's
no point cluttering the net with it.

Thanks,
