OK, yI started getting curious about this. In MacOS BigSUr the launchd runs the command "periodic" found in /usr/sbin This appears to run all the scripts in /etc/periodic/daily, /etc/periodic/weekly or /etc/periodic/monthly.
It is quite possible that other locations are looked at too, and there is a configuration file in /etc/default/ where you can specify a status eMail be sent, but I expect that you would need to use a shell based mail application to read such messages, and generally the sending of these status messages is for server systems.
