You will find testing this kind of script much easier if you have access
to the mail server logs.  If you do not have a friend with a mail server
and do not know how to run a mail server yourself, a local Linux user
group may be able to provide some assistance.  Your ISP, especially a
smaller locally focused operation, would be another possibility.  

The big ISP's will now discard email without any notification.  This is
largely due to the overwhelming spam load they have to deal with.  Your
email could be getting discarded for any number of reasons.  Chances are
your script is working.
