I have a forum with the "Reply" permission removed for all users. When a forum user attempts a reply they get sent to the "Access Request" screen as expected.

However, when an email user replies their post does appear on the forum - not as a reply, but as a new topic.

In a test on another forum I see that locking a topic should generate an appropriate email. i.e.

-------------------
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

    [e-mail]

Your email to [e-mail] has been rejected because you are not allowed to post to xxxxxx. Please contact the owner about permissions
-------------------

Surely, a similar email should be generated for "No Reply" forums as well?
