Philipp, 

Ad 1) If I understand correctly, you succeeded in getting rid of errors
and warnings like

"Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.daily
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/freshclam exited with return code 1
error: Ignoring xdm.rpmnew, because of .rpmnew ending"

and

"run-parts: component /etc/cron.daily/.freshclam.swp is not an=20
executable plain file".

And now you just don't want to get emails about updating database,
right?

So in your /etc/cron/daily/freshclam add redirecting output to /dev/null

Add to the last part of command ">/dev/null" or even ">/dev/null 2>&1"
(but you'd better receive errors when something goes wrong, so use the
first form).

E.g.:

/usr/bin/freshclam \
    --quiet \
    --datadir=/var/lib/clamav \
    --log=$LOG_FILE >/dev/null


Ad 2) You can try to redirect output to mail to a particular user.
Maybe this will work:

/usr/bin/freshclam \
    --quiet \
    --datadir=/var/lib/clamav \
    --log=$LOG_FILE | mail someuser

Of course remove "set -x" as it was needed only for debugging.
