that localhost.localdomain bit might be a problem since a great many 
main servers will drop the mail if the sending domain does not exist.

You can either add some real domains to your server, /etc/hosts etc or 
modify your script a bit.

mail -a "From: Richard <richard at rushlogistics>" -s "New this month at 
Rush Logistics" testaddress at testdomain.com < rush-20060807.txt

That should work a bit better that letting mail default to the local 
user. It's possible you may still have issues like port 25 being block 
or not accepted from your IP space.
