Interesting.

What happens if their mail server is down and the email gets bounced? What
happens if the house/shop keeper accidently deletes an email?

I'm not being difficult. I'm curious if you have backup plans for these
situations. The first question is the reason I've never gone this route
(though the second question has just as much validity).
