Part of it is what do you mean by "deliver client e-mails". SMTP is one
thing, POP/IMAP is another, direct read from mbox file is different
still (though it sits behind pop/imap as well). Another side is although
SMTP RFCs start with "reliable and efficiently", e-mail delivery has
always been "best effort" -- so I would not build a business plan on the
assumption that e-mail is or will ever be reliable.
