Are you using Sendmail or SMTP to send emails?

Could you try doing it in plain SMTP session?

----
telnet youserver 25
- greeting by server
ehlo your-hostname
- multiline response by server
mail from: <your@email>
- response from server
rcpt to: <your@email>
- response from server
data
- response from server
Subject: test

/bin/bash
.
- response from server
quit
