Reject reply by email to notification if the from email is not verified

What does this MR do and why?

When a user forward an email that has a reply by email mail key, we were associating it to the original user regardless of where the email came from.

I think it is done by accident mostly, so we should reject these emails and let them comment on the issue directly.

I can't think of any valid use case for this, but we can look into it again later if we overlooked something.

NOTE: We can't do much about Service Desk issues as the support_bot is the author of the comment so we're ignoring those. It doesn't seem necessary for now, but I think it'd be great if we can make it clear who responded.

Screenshots or screen recordings
