Expiration warnings are sent if cron is invoked on the day the expiration warning is supposed to be sent. However, low-traffic sites may not receive a visitor on a given day, which will cause the expiration warning e-mail to be skipped (if the Drupal default method of invoking cron is used).

Need to at least warn the administrator about this potential problem somehow.

Patch that adds warning that cron must be run daily to ensure e-mail notifications are sent.

A better solution to this bug would probably be to send all e-mail notifications that are due to be sent since the last cron run. For example, if an e-mail notification should have been sent yesterday, but it was not sent because cron did not run yesterday, it should be sent today when cron runs.
