Are you sending the mail to the root user?

Then you need to set an alias in /etc/aliases and forward root's email 
to your email address (or even better a list of people, so that you can 
go on holiday).
Edit /etc/aliases and use the command "newalias"

If your script is sending email to your address directly,
I can help if you are using the Postfix mail program (and that is not 
likely) , as that is the one I have most experience with. I would rather 
not try to help you configure Sendmail remotely.
