process_message_queue needs to mark as failed those messages intended for email
that don't have valid email addresses (in the queue or in the borrower's
record).  Otherwise, hundreds of such messages (like patron messaging for
checkin/checkout transactions) will pile up until an email is added.  

Then at the next process_message_queue, all those still pending messages will
be successfully sent at once, resulting in a very embarrassing and unhelpful
mailbomb.  

The design made sense when we only had a few very important notifications, but
now that we have so many largely trivial ones, we need to note the failure
instead of deferring silently.
