I am happily using sendmail to email from the aix boxes
but I need to be able to email into the aix box to trigger automatioc process

Allowing mail to come in from the outside world could be dangerous, so read up
on sendmail first.
I'd guess one way would be to have mailboxes for each job you'd want an e-mail
to trigger. A cron
job then could scan the directory where the mail is help. On my Solaris machine
e-mails are kept in
a text file /usr/mail/{userid}. Let's say you wanted to start backups based on
e-mail input. You
could have a cron job periodically check to see if the file
/usr/mail/start_backups existed. If so, it would fire off the backups (and
delete the file...).
