Is anyone running IDA sendmail on an IBM rs6k and gotten everything to work?
I've got sendmail 5.65c with IDA 1.4.4.1 compiled and installed on an RS with 
AIX 3.2.  I can send local and TCP based mail by using 'sendmail address',
I can send local mail with /usr/bin/mail (aka /usr/ucb/mail??), but I can't
get TCP mail to work with /usr/bin/mail.  whenever I try 'mail -v leach@roy',
mail accepts the message, but then spawn a process that looks like:
send-mail -i -m -v -x leach@roy
and everything hangs.  'send-mail' is a string in /usr/bin/mail, and I'm
thinking that the old AIX sendmail accepted vastly different arguments then
the BSD 5.65c sendmail does and thus things are hanging.
Has anyone gotten a BSD sendmail to work with AIX /usr/bin/mail?
Do I need to just replace /usr/bin/mail with something else, and if so,
are the sources for /usr/ucb/mail around (like the sendmail ones are)?

questions, questions, questions.

thanks in advance...
