What you can do to suppress masses of email but at least save the
messages in log files is adding the following to /etc/periodic.conf:

--8<-
    # saves daily output to file instead of mailing it
    # we still receive weekly and monthly via mail
    daily_output="/var/log/daily.log"
    daily_status_security_output="/var/log/daily.log"
-->8-

Nevertheless, I am also looking forward to other suggestions for how to
deal with status mails by jails.
