Tell the less(1) pager to be quiet:

export LESS="-q"
man 1 less

I already made an alias to less to use less -q. That works if I use
less manually but just not in  man.

I'll try what Greg said above.

What Joey Hess said :-)

The alias isn't used by man; that's why it didn't work. Another solution would be to use a lesskey file (read man lesskey) to set LESS to -q.
