now you've correct script. you need to check smtp for mail sending/receving from that box. you may just check mails simply by sending mail from prompt. if you recive then we can look @ script otherwise need to work in that area..
good luck & post if any errors.

Testing mail :

mailx -s "Difference of files" ss@cs.com < press enter >
Enter some text
