Hi,

Check your #/etc/periodic.conf the daily_output can go to a file or a user.
daily_output="root" 	# user or /file

While your there check the daily_status_security_output for who the mail is 
sent to.
daily_status_security_output="root"                     # user or /file

All the Defaults are in #/etc/defaults/periodic.conf

A typical file is #/var/log/daily.log which is set in newsyslog to rotate.

Last thing to check is that your aliases for the user for the daily_output 
has a valid email address.
