All right. So, does the script return non-zero in that case? If not, you must
have switched on return_output. Turn it off, and no mail delivery error
message should be generated. If the script does return non-zero despite being
successful, then you have to modify the script, or possibly switch on
ignore_status, but then the user won't know if the script actually failed for
real.
