mailx should work ...
try mailx -s subject destination < yourfile

try some test emails from the command line ... if it doesnt appear to work try using -v flag for verbose...
man mailx for more information.

You can just do something like this after you have the output file.

mailx -s "<subject_line>" <email_address> < "

e.g. If your output file name is /tmp/xyz.out and your email address is misteraix@misteraix.org, you can do something like this:

mailx -s "content of output file" misteraix@misteraix.org < /tmp/xyz.out

If the AIX server cannot deliver mail direct to the "misteraix.org" domain, you may also need to set DS on /etc/mail/sendmail.cf , a good reference for Sendmail on AIX is http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-sendmail_on_aix/index.html
