No, change it to

${UPDATER}

and you'll get mailed any output whenever it runs (no output=no mail).
Maybe you'll get mail every time, maybe only when something goes wrong
(depends on the specific update script).  Some updaters (like f-prot's for
example) take a flag which makes them silent except on error (check their
docs).

Please email the list in future.

Regards,

Kevin
