This feature of RHN hosted has not been working for the past few months. 
You may have noticed the delunge of emails a few weeks back when RHN 
emails finally came for RedHat 4.7 and 5.2 .  Since then, they have been 
silent for me as well.

My hope is that the outage scheduled for next week will fix this and other 
bugs related to scheduling and processing of errata.
