The original script contains a syntax error (a space character after PID=) and a logic error because it will kill itself because it's own command line contains the string "AREmail" ! Also I believe that the logfile redirect is in the wrong place.

Maybe try this alternative construct

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
SCRIPT_NAME="`basename $0`"    # Name of this script
(
ps -eaf | grep "AREmail" | grep -v "grep" | grep -v "${SCRIPT_NAME}" | \
    awk '{print $2}' | while read PID
    do
        echo "killing ${PID}"
        # Remove echo when tested
        echo "kill -9 ${PID}"
    done
) 2>&1 >/opt/remedy/ar/AREmail/email_kill.out
