Development-related questions are more appropriate for the squid-dev
mailing list, but even there, it is very unlikely that a question like
this would motivate somebody to spend the time necessary to detail every
one of the ~40 functions in that file!

To understand what that function is for, try checking how it is _used_.
You will find that mail_warranty() is called only from the function
called death() and only when Config.adminEmail is set. You can search
for Config.adminEmail description in src/cf.data.pre. Its formatted
version (which loses its Config member association) is at
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/cache_mgr/


HTH,
