Wrong. I get mail from our RT all the time; no problem.  Sendmail is a BSD
thing, AIX is based on Sys V with BSD extensions.  Check your L.sys (is uucp
setup correctly?).  Of course AIX 2.1.2 will only allow a tty port to be either
a dialin or dialout, (later versions of AIX does allow bi-directional ports).
