No! The man(1) page for mailx(1) indicates that the email addresses should be 
space-separated.

Assuming you want to check the LDM every 15 minutes rather than 4 times during 
the midnight hour, I'd try

    1,16,31,46 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'bin/ldmadmin check >check.log 2>&1' || 
mailx -s '"ldmadmin check" problem' somebody@somehost <check.log
