Paypal IPN and payer email

I'm using Paypal to receive donations, and IPN to track the information that comes through. I'm new to all. Under what conditions will the payer_email not be transmitted from the IPN? At one end of the spectrum, Will the parameters always contain payer_email because this it required? At the other end of the spectrum, will the payer_email usually be unavailable because the payer chooses to keep it private?

In most all cases you'll get a payer_email included. The only time you might not is when you get an IPN for a dispute, but I think even that would include it.

You can refer to PayPal's IPN Variables list for more details on what you should expect with each IPN type.
