Two comments: First, do NOT do it *on* the hour. Too many people doing that will kill the mirrors. Pick some random minute to do it instead. Second, most sensible implementations of cron automatically email any output to the owner of the crontab (ie, root). So you are much better off just giving the --quiet option to freshclam, and it will only annoy you when there are problems, rather than all the time. This assumes, of course, that you are root, and that everyone who is root would want the notifications.
