Sendmail is an MTA. It isn't a good idea for the MTA to second guess
intentions. Yes, some other OS's might do things that way, but that
isn't the un*x way. If you have a program that sometimes generates
output that should be mailed off you can easily have it capture the
output in a file and only mail that file if the file is no-zero.
programname > /tmp/log$$ 2>&1
if [ -n /tmp/log$$ ]
then
/bin/mail -s "programname run at $(date)" username
fi
/bin/rm /tmp/log$$
