I haven't seen a version of sendmail that is easily ported to System-V. 
What we did instead (delirun is an RT running AIX 2.1.1) is port smail
2.5 as our back-end mailer, and elm 1.5 as our user mail interface. 
Both of these programs have been posted in the past to
comp.sources{.unix}.  This combination is *much* better than the
mail/netmail split.
