My understanding is, the cron job only emails stdout or sterr output to
the owner.  To disable this, redirect any such output to /dev/null, like
this:

* * * * * fred /usr/bin/annoying_cron_job > /dev/null 2>&1
                                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                  This is the part to append to the line.
