Exactly. Email is also a ‘zero guarantee’ service, and should never be relied upon for life or death solutions.

Not just that, in this case there was no way for the alert system to even know that the emails were delivered. I can’t speak to everyone but for my company emails were not bouncing, I just got them 12-24 hours late. At least SMS and the like know if the message reached the actual end recipients inbox.
