Description

Often LTAs will create a mass of sock accounts to send abusive emails using the EmailUser function - having an option (similar to the new "Prohibit these users from emailing me:") to disallow non-confirmed editors from emailing you would be useful for regular targets of this harassment.

This ideally would be a global preference, but I appreciate that the definition of "confirmed" is not the same on every project.

Perhaps a local preference per wiki using the enwp definition (4 days + 10 edits) would be a good start?

IIRC there's now a feature prohibiting "brand new editors to email me". Is that option still not enough? Maybe they can tweak it too. Regards.

Adding the AHT team here for review.

Well there you go - I looked for an option relating to this the other day, but could not find it (or perhaps I just didn't look hard enough)! I've now found it, and noticed I can set it globally!

Great work, and thank you @MarcoAurelio!

I think this is a duplicate ticket of T138165: Allow users to restrict which user groups that can send them direct emails via Special:EmailUser which is what @Samtar was referring to. "Brand new users" = users without confirmed or autoconfirmed.
