I ran portupgrade -a to update all my packages a couple weeks ago, and
since then I stopped receiving daily emails from the built-in cron jobs.
There is no mail in root's mailbox and no mail sitting in the queue.
/var/log/maillog doesnt show any messages trying to be sent.  Is there a
setting somewhere I can check that controls those daily emails?

I've checked here
/etc/defaults/periodic.conf:

daily_output="root"
