Use yum-cron, and in the /etc/sysconfig control file, tell it to email
you about updates but not install them by setting the CHECK_ONLY (or
DOWNLOAD_ONLY, depending on what you want done) flags.  By default it
emails root, but you can change that to someone else in that same file.

Note that after installing it you need to

  chkconfig yum-cron on

to actually have it run each night.
