I still get the following message every day:

periodic(8) suggests you add daily_show_info=NO in /etc/periodic.conf.

       To  only see  important information from daily periodic jobs, add the
       following lines to /etc/periodic.conf:

     daily_show_success=NO
     daily_show_info=NO
     daily_show_badconfig=NO
