If the customer only got paper versions of all of the above (which is what
we default to), then this situation would not have shown itself until
now. Now that you've pointed out that the above is also true, I would
suggest that an option be created to stop this behavior as the same
situation can potentially occur with invoices, statements, overdue notices,
etc assuming somehow that customer's preferences got set to E-mail instead
of Paper.

The assumption that if the customer has no E-mail addresses, that sending
to login@maindomain.com is the right thing to do. I don't want the E-mail
to be sent anywhere, I want it to throw an error or not send it at all.
