The Slack chat tool by default sends email notifications saying "You were mentioned ..." when in fact it was @channel and not you. The only way I can find to turn these off is to go into each channel setting.

I was looking for the same and I saw that nobody answered, so this is what I've found: you cannot and you won't ever be able to.

@channel: everybody in a channel, it's a kind of contract with the user and everybody inside a channel should receive a notification.

The point is that Slack has a netiquette, and users would have to know it. Alternatives to @channel keyword are @everyone and @here, the first one working only in "big" channels, the second one only for people currently active. You can disable notifications for these keywords.
