Why am I no longer receiving daily emails with the cPanel update log output after updating to version 82?

After cPanel update to v82.0.6 the cPanel Update daily email stopped. I am one that likes to see this email. The current cron update line currently looks like this: (/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/fix-cpanel-perl; /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/upcp --cron > /dev/null) What should it look like to enable the email again? Thank you.

  Hello @SJR, This is by-design as of cPanel & WHM version 82 per the below case: Fixed case CPANEL-26113: Suppress unwanted output during scheduled upcp runs which would mail the configured system contacts. "cPanel Update Failures" is an alert type you can configure under the Notifications tab in WHM >> Contact Manager. If you want to receive an email after every cPanel update whether it fails or succeeds, see the solution below: [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]Edit note: A user-submitted workaround is available
