MH is available at ics.uci.edu. There are other places, but I think that
one is closest to you. Once you log in (as ftp),

ftp> bin
ftp> cd mh
ftp> get mh-6.7.tar.Z

If other people are going to use MH on your system, 
I would highly advise that you have a system administrator to install
it (with root access), but you don't have to be root. Under its basic
configuration - no Pop, BBoards, or NNTP - any user can compile and install
it into your own (or a public) directory. You will need approx 3-4 meg
to store the binaries, any library files, and man pages. Source on top
of that will be even more expensive to disk storage.
