Mailx empty body message
Hi,

Is there a way to suppress this message?

Code:
Null message body; hope that's ok

My email string is:

Code:
mailx -s "This is my subject" myemail@domain.com < /dev/null

It's just an annoyance to me that I would like see go away.

Hi.

Maybe:

Code:


Code:



mailx -s "This is my subject" myemail@domain.com < /dev/null 2> /dev/null

This works:

Code:
echo ""|mailx -s "This is my subject" myemail@domain.com


Some spam filters will eat an email which contains no message.
