Perhaps (?) this experimentation is of interest to you:

(defun test-suppress-messages ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((log-size message-log-max)) ; (setq message-log-max 1000)
    (setq message-log-max nil)
    (message "No buffer, not last - suppressed!")
    (setq message-log-max log-size)
    (message "Buffer, so this message is logged.")
    (message "Buffer and last, so this message is echoed as well as logged.") ))
;; (test-suppress-messages)
