The '2>&1' needs to go at the end of the command.
[It redirects stderr to stdout]

From the way you have 'mailprog' defined at the beginning, I'm guessing
that you're calling it elsewhere, and passing other arguments to it.
You'll need to find where it's actually called, and place the redirection
after all other args.
