You'd really just want to output the results to a file and then mail the entire file to your designated recipients. Such as the much maligned:

Code:
cat output.file |mailx -s "Ping results..." users@domain.com

Just as an aside, however, you might want to think about listing internal domain contents when posting on a forum like this. Just as a matter of security...it's generally best if you don't broadcast the contents of your pockets.
