Hi,

I don't know if I understand your problem but if you want to send some email notification based on some condition, you should write action which search for all documents which has passed expiry date. Then send proper notification with email action.

Your action should be executed with Alfresco job or scheduled actions. Checkout this articale http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Scheduled_Actions

I hope it helps
