How to stop local mail..



 Hi,
I was looking through my drive trying to figure out what was taking up so much space when I stumbled across my mail file in /var/mail/. It was over 800MB! It contained a ton of output from the command line: errors, commands typed, program output etc.. Most of it was the output from the yes command when I accidentally ran it in the background once and didn't notice for a while :P. Why would it send stuff like that to my user account? How do I stop it?

Thanks,
Leo
