I first make sure that everything is logged to files in /var/log (not
email).

Then use logread to summarise daily. Logread is highly customisable to
throw away routine messages, leaving the non-routine ones that have to
be dealt with.

There are a few events (Nagios output mostly) that come directly as
email -- these are urgent things (like disks filling up).
