I would do it this way:
1) Set up an account on AIX to receive the mail
2) Define the trap to NetView (one of NetView's user traps would do)
3) Create a $HOME/.forward file for this special account which would execute
a script to parse the mail and issue a snmptrap command to send the trap
with appropriate info to NetView
Feel free to get with me offline if you need some help with this.
