Actually, the answer is even simpler.  By default, you will get an email 
when the DAGMan job itself finishes (since DAGMan is run as a Condor job).
So the only thing you have to do is turn off notification from the 
individual jobs within the DAG.  You can do this by adding the following 
line to all of the node job submit files:

  notification = never

(or you can set notification = error if you still want to get emailed if 
an error happens).
