I'm afraid you may have wasted your time, since I can assure you that the
sendmail shipped with AIX3 is indeed 5.61 (from BSD tahoe); having done the
port myself last summer, I agree that it was uneventful.

Of course, IBM has added functionality to its sendmail, included National
Language Support, etc.  More interesting, we added support for MB, MG, and
MR nameserver records, which may be fairly pathbreaking.

But I'm curious: what led you to believe that it was 5.2?
