Mostly I send the outputs to /var/log and not email (except security) so 
I don't have to do anything and newsyslog handles the log 
rotation/deletion.  But I've also come across PR 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/88486 and I'm hoping I 
can reduce the logging to nothing at all (unless something goes wrong).  
Get rid of uninteresting jobs, perhaps do disk space checks with 
something like Nagios etc.  No time of course :-)
