If the command has output, you will get the results mailed to you.  I
don't know of any way to stop that, but it's easy to arrange for the
command to avoid sending results.

Just make your command

cmd > /dev/null

or the more thorough

cmd > /dev/null 2>&1

which redirects stderr and stdout.

See "man bash" for more details.
