There is so much left out here. What Unix? You might be running a modern Linux, Solaris, some old SCO system or who knows what and the issues of sending mail are going to vary with those.
What is "file2"? If it's just text, that's fine, but if not it's going to at least need to be uuencoded. In either case, did you want to end it so that it shows up in the body of the email or as an attachment? If you want it attached, you need "mutt" or something like that.
You say "mail services are running". How do you know that? Just because something can do local mail doesn't mean it is configured correctly for internet mail.
You might want to look at
CleanCode Email for a nice little command line thing that can bypass any local mail server if that's the source of the problem.

mailbox or folder. To get the summary only, use this with the option. The summary has the form:
