I ran into an issue yesterday that had me stumped for quite a while.  I 
provisioned a new host and was trying to run rhn-profile-sync afterwards.  The 
software profile update went through fine but the hardware profile sync kept 
failing with a 500 error.  I looked in the httpd logs on the spacewalk server 
and spent about a half hour deciphering the traceback only to realize the 
traceback was being generated when doing a mail call.  It turns out that 
postfix on my spacewalk server had stopped (I think I did that intentionally 
and then forgot to start it up).

I guess I just wanted to find out, should a hardware sync really rely on mail 
being available?  It's probably trivial, but if a traceback/500 response is not 
intended I could see that as something that could really trip someone up.
