The following is an extract of the script which is failing to send the email.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 (Tikanga)

TXTERROR=/home/oracle/dba/scripts/text_error.txt
cd /home/oracle/dba/logs/
ATTFILE=$ARCOUTFD
SUBJECT="Errors removing archives"
MAILTO=mail@mail.com
PARAM1=$(egrep -i -c "ORA-|rejected|Killed|skipped|RMAN-" "$ARCOUTFD")
PARAM2=$(egrep -c "Server status" "$ARCOUTFD")
PARAM3=$(egrep -c "Server status = 0" "$ARCOUTFD")
if [[ $PARAM1 -gt 0 || $PARAM2 -ne $PARAM3 ]] ; then
(cat $TXTERROR;uuencode $ATTFILE Archive_log_error.log|mailx -m -s "$SUBJECT" $MAILTO)
fi

What is the error?

Also the variable $ARCOUTFD does not seem to be set.

check the /var/log/maillog also.

Yes it is set. I only provide a extract of the script.

Well I also asked "What is the error you are getting" and did you look at the mail log in /var/log/maillog.

Also are you using postfix or sendmail?

Thank you savone.
As you indicated I searched on the /var/mail, and this are the errors:

X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/home/oracle>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=oracle>
X-Cron-Env: <USER=oracle>
