If the mailbox store is unavailable, the sender should get an NDR, although you
would need to verify this, since I haven't tested it.
However, If this isn't the case, send an email that should be delivered. The
SMTP protocol requires a reject if the delivery fails, which it must if the
mailbox store isn't there.
