I hope its not "exactly" like that?  Did you change the email address and the
file/path info?  Think you would need to redirect those files too...

Also if you wanted to get a copy every time your logs rotate, with logrotate
you could use a config like:

/usr/local/apache/logs/access_log /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log {
    daily
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        mail -s 'log files' youremail at domain.extension < /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log.1
        mail -s 'log files' youremail at domain.extension < /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log.1     
    endscript
}

hope this helps,
