+I notice somethig:
+
+bash-3.00# printf TEST123 | mail -s "test mail to felipe" felipe at tocchetto.=
+com
+
+Without the "!" in the end of the subject it was sent with no problems
+
+bash-3.00# printf TEST123 | mail -s "test mail to felipe!" felipe at tocchetto=
+.com
+bash: !": event not found
+
+and now with the "!" in the end of the -s parameter. It wasnt send to me...

Since "!" tells bash to invoke a previous comand, bash
is trying to execute a bogus command  (!").  If you want special
shell characters in a string, you need to escape them.  Try
   printf TEST123 | mail -s "test mail to felipe\!" felipe at tocchetto.com

If that doesn't work try

   printf TEST123 | mail -s 'test mail to felipe\!' felipe at tocchetto.com
