capturing or suppressing rsync errors

Hello rsync,

I am using rsync to download files from rpm
repositories (because yum will not work directly with
my !@#$% ADSL service).  I am calling rsync from a
python script.  When the rsync server is down, I get
error messages, but the message goes to mail, so I get
a message

you have new mail in /var/spool/mail/rick

I would prefer the error message would not go to mail,
rather I would like to capture the text of the message
in python.  However, the things I have tried so far do
not work.    

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rick Graves
