I had this exact same problem on a uVAX running ULTRIX.  The problem
was not the machine or the os, it was because I decided NOT to run
a sendamil daemon.  It looks like mh wants to talk to the sendmail
daemon and can't find one.  Put the following line in you mtstailor
file (probably /p/lib/mh/mtstailor):

servers:	machine.running.sendmail.daemon

in my case the line looks like this (ms.secs.csun.edu runs the sendmail
daemon):

servers:	ms.secs.csun.edu

I configured my system to use sendmail/smtp.  This should solve your problem.

Mike.
