You're right about replacing the /bin/rmail program with smail. 
I had to do this on a Xenix machine last year.

I also ported sendmail to that machine.   Sendmail can be set up
to put UUCP mail through the smail program (and eventually into
the UUCP queue) and ethernet mail out on the ethernet using SMTP.

The source code is available from UUNET.  I'll bet there is
someone out there who has already taken the time to port sendmail
to A/UX .  If not, I might be doing it when I get my IIci
sometime this month.
