Just wonder what if my mail server went offline for some periods, and the sending party couldn't deliver.

Will there be any consequences except I don't get the mail? I tried searching but they all in the perspective of a sender and get a bounce, rather the other way around.

If you're concerned about missing emails, you might want to sign up for a forwarder instead. I don't see the point of running an email server that's going to be off for long periods of time.

Generally it's not going to put you on a blacklist if a sending server doesn't manage to send, but some have very short queue times before they'll drop it, so you're going to miss a lot of mail that way.
