dead.letter issue on Linux? I am sending mail to a list of users, using the `mailx` utility: mailx -s "$SUBJECT" "$TO" < $FILE It is working fine with valid emails, but I am getting a `dead.letter` issue when I try to send mail like `adffadf`, i.e., the string is not a valid email, I want this `dead.letter` to not be occurring even for users having anything for email ID, e.g., `abc@gmail.com, abc@def.cc, adffdfs`

The man page for my mailx says a lot of things about set nosave and so on, but they don't seem to work. The only way to stop your dead.letter file growing I have found is to replace it by a link to the special file /dev/null.


rm ~/dead.letter

ln -s /dev/null ~/dead.letter
