Description
Assume that you are trying to create an issue via email. If no tracker is associated to the target project, the issue creation will fail and you will see a validation error in production.log as follows.
MailHandler: Validation failed: Validation failed: Tracker cannot be blank, Status cannot be blank
Probably it is difficult for most users to understand that the cause of the error is that no tracker is assigned to the project by seeing the error above. I think the error message needs some improvement.

The following change improves the validation error message. After applying it, the error message will be like this:
Validation failed: Tracker cannot be blank, Status cannot be blank, No tracker is associated to this project. Please check the Project settings.
