Continuing the discussion from [Misleading email rejection when reply permissions not available](https://meta.discourse.org/t/misleading-email-rejection-when-reply-permissions-not-available/52476):

Currently, the rejected email gets buried in my gmail server. I have no idea who is trying to respond. Typically, I create a read-only post and invite people to respond in another related topic.

**1. Good:** Is there anyway to change the email to read this is a “read only topic?” so people don’t respond. I _just_ want “visit topic” and not reply to this email.

**2. Better** : Is there a way that the rejected emails can end up in a moderator mailbox?

**3. Best** : is there a way to put the rejected emails into some sort of “holding pen” i.e. uncategorized? I would like to move the responses to another category for discussion.
