you should have no problem pumping a file to an email. but i dont think you can attach a file. you can take a files contents and mail it like this

mailx -s "Subject" < textfilledfile.txt youremail@mail.com

in my experience, not a good idea to send non-text files through mailx. you should modify your script in accordance with the above syntax. Instead of echo'ing, just pump the file to the email with '<'.

Hope that helps.
