You've already noted that you found the circ_groups.js file.  By 
default, the only profile group evaluated by that file is "Patron".  If 
the patrons are not in this group, then they will not be affected by the 
settings.  These values are then evaluated by circ_permit_patron.js.  
Again, by default, the only checks performed there are the maxItemsOut 
and whether or not the account is barred.

Notices are sent by an external Perl script.  Ideally, called from cron. 

see:
   
http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS/browser/branches/rel_1_4_0/Open-ILS/src/support-scripts/generate_circ_notices.pl

Configuration is pulled from opensrf.xml.  Look for the <email_nofify> 
and <notification> sections.
