 After some investigation, the following logfile showed the exact same errors as sent by e-mail:
+<cli prompt='#'>
 # tailf /var/log/smt/smt-register.log

 As one can see, the errors repeat every 15min. So there must be a cronjob launching this thing.
 The cronjob was found within the /etc/cron.d folder:
+<cli prompt='#'>
 # cat /etc/cron.d/novell.com-smt
 */15 * * * * root /usr/lib/SMT/bin/smt-repeated-register

 2 * * * root /usr/lib/SMT/bin/smt-run-jobqueue-cleanup
 5 * * 1 root /usr/lib/SMT/bin/smt-gen-report
+</cli>
 So it is the script /usr/lib/SMT/bin/smt-repeated-register which causes troubles... This script basically checks if a proxy connection should be used and then launches the following command:
+<cli prompt='#'>
 /usr/sbin/smt-register -r -L /var/log/smt/smt-register.log --mail
+</cli>
 Once executed manually, nothing happened, it seemed to be blocked somewhere. Fortunately there is a debug mode to see what's going on:
+<cli prompt='#'>
 # smt-register --debug
+</cli>
+<code>

 So the problem is that the accessed URL (https://secure-www.novell.com/center/regsvc) is forwarding the request to a non-https URL (http://www.novell.com/xml/center/regsvc-1_0). This causes a problem because the smt-register (perl-)script requires the https protocol (take a look at line 82):
+<code>
 : my $useragent = SMT::Utils::createUserAgent(keep_alive => 1);
 : $useragent->protocols_allowed( [ 'https' ] );
 : $useragent->default_headers->push_header('Content-Type' => 'text/xml');
+</code>
 I experimented by adding the protocol http into the protocols_allowed array but this only caused another error:
+<code>
 -03-06 09:05:47 SMT::NCCRegTools - [info]  Register 1 new clients.
 -03-06 09:05:49 SMT::NCCRegTools - [error]  Invalid response:409 Conflict
+</code>
 So this isn't the solution.
 Then I wondered how the smt-register script knew that it should send the requests to https://secure-www.novell.com - this was nowhere marked in /etc/smt.conf. A short grep later I found this satisfying information:
+<cli prompt='#'>
 # grep "secure-www.novell.com" /etc/*
 /etc/smt.conf.rpmnew:NURegUrl=https://secure-www.novell.com/center/regsvc/
 /etc/suseRegister.conf:url = https://secure-www.novell.com/center/regsvc
 /etc/suseRegister.conf-2009-11-11:url = https://secure-www.novell.com/center/regsvc/
+</cli>
 So in the file /etc/smt.conf.rpmnew there was a variable NURegUrl, but in the main config file /etc/smt.conf there was none. Strange... There may be several reasons for that. Maybe only since a couple of days this parameter-URL is required, or some other admin accidently removed the line from the config file... who knows.
 Anyway, by adding the line into the [NU] section of /etc/smt.conf everything worked fine again:
+<cli prompt='#'>
 # cat /etc/smt.conf
