The abusefilter isn't a very good option for this. The abusefilter records the
value of its variables for each edit. It does this for debugging purposes and
to ensure that false positives can be identified and fixed. This means that
you'd either be publishing the text of all emails sent by EmailUser in the
abusefilter log or, if you choose not to show them in the log, risk having a
filter blocking emails incorrectly (including possibly all emails) going
unnoticed for long periods of time. A wiki editable email blacklist isn't a
good idea either, because changes to the blacklist could occur after you've
confirmed your email address. This means your previously working email features
would stop working. This could be partially mitigated by blocking only the
ability to send emails, but it would still be confusing to the user.
