LinuxQuestions.org - sendmail wont send mail

I never received this email. I tried many times. What is the problem?

Code:

chris@debian:~$ banner -w80 "linux" | sendEmail -t christopher.lemire@gmail.com -f root@chris1.myftp.org -u "tux"

Reading message body from STDIN because the '-m' option was not used.

If you are manually typing in a message:

  - First line must be received within 60 seconds.

  - End manual input with a CTRL-D on its own line.

Oct 16 21:40:59 debian sendEmail[24656]: Email was sent successfully!

chris@debian:~$

Nothing is wrong with my sendmail configuration if you are thinking that. My script runs fine by cron to email me about my system updates, and I receive the emails. This is it.

Code:

chris@debian:~$ cat myapt

#!/bin/bash

if [ `whoami` != "root" ]; then

  echo "You must be root to execute this script."

  exit

fi

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade -y

echo "----------------------------------------------" >> /tmp/mylog

echo "Apt successfully updated the system:" >> /tmp/mylog

echo $(date) >> /tmp/mylog

echo >> /tmp/mylog

ls -luh /var/cache/apt/archives/ >> /tmp/mylog

echo >> /tmp/mylog

cat /tmp/mylog | sendEmail -t christopher.lemire@gmail.com -f root@chris1.myftp.org -u "Re: Apt successful system update" -q

cat /tmp/mylog | tee -a /var/log/pkgsbyapt

rm -f /tmp/mylog

apt-get clean

exit 0
