That's how in general, you control where cron sends the stdout or stderr
from any commands it runs.  However, it doesn't answer the OP's specific
question about periodic scripts -- those handle e-mailing their results
out themselves, which is controlled by setting the
{daily,weekly,monthly}_output variable in periodic.conf
