Is mail aliased? In the path? It is always safer to use "/bin/mail" because you know what you're getting. Can you do that (echo | mail) from the command line and have it work? If not, there may be a bigger problem with mail on your system. If it does work from the command line, and my fix above doesn't help, I'd say that it is a network problem. Let us know how it turns out.
