Title:
Send error if you try to email post from the wrong address
Area:
email posting
Summary:
Don't fail silently on email posting - show an error message somewhere with an explanation.
Description:
If you try to email a post to your journal, there is a setting that lists the email addresses that are allowed to do this. If you have multiple email addresses, and accidentally send it from one that's not one of the three on http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/settings/?cat=mobile, it fails silently.
Instead of failing silently with no clues, you should get a notification of some sort to let you know it happened and give you a clue why. This should include appropriate caveats about telling Support or improving your security if it wasn't you that did it, and could go either to your Inbox, to your main email, or to the email you tried from, whichever is considered to be most secure.
This suggestion:
