There's no need for the if-then-else part anymore. You get the whole output
mailed to the given address. However, if you follow Collins very good
proposal, you could do with:

if /usr/bin/rsync -av /var/lib/mysql kaushal@(protected)/
> /tmp/rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log 2>&1
then
 subj_prefix="Success"
else
 subj_prefix="Error"
fi
cat /tmp/rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log| /usr/bin/mailx -s "${subj_prefix}: host77 DB
refresh daily" kaushal@(protected)

So that you can tell from the subject wether the command was succesful or not.
