$wgSysopEmailBans
Wouldn't it make more sense to introduce a new permission for that, which could sit on top of the standard "block" permission, rather than introduce another global?
It may well -- would give us the ability to push it onto other usergroups if we need. The primary reason for using the global was that it's much more clear *how* to disable email-blocking, as this is likely something that many wikis will want to disable (at least, it's more clear than $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['blockemail'] = false;). Everyone I asked about it felt as indifferent about it as I did though -- how 'bout we make a hybrid of the two? Have the global that will disable it regardless of who has what rights and the right itself which is also needed to use it?
