Issues relating to the email notification features and email address verification. Such as Special:ConfirmEmail, Special:EmailUser, etc.
This project is part of the core MediaWiki software itself.
For issues pertaining to Wikimedia's email/SMTP infrastructure see Mail instead.
I think in the past it was not uncommon for power users on larger wiki farms (i.e. Wikipedia and WMF projects) to have a user page indicating preferered ways to be contacted, especially when they're not active on that wiki. E.g. placeholders like "contact me on Meta-Wiki instead of here as I won't see your message otherwise".
Change #560443 merged by jenkins-bot:
[mediawiki/core@master] EmailNotification: Link to editor's talk page, not user page
May also want to consider $wgEchoPerUserBlacklist.
Change #971556 merged by jenkins-bot:
[mediawiki/core@master] Watchlist: Fix non-functioning URLs in ENOTIFs by wrapping in <>s
These two variables are enabled by default for all WMF wikis in production. @Bmueller do you have any objection to making this a default setting in MediaWiki, so that third party installs of MediaWiki have these variables enabled by default?
Which teams should be added?

[mediawiki/extensions/CampaignEvents@master] Use EmailUser class for permission checking
A new upstream version of pear/net_smtp is now available: 1.12.1.
Given that this has reoccurred and from the emails you provided looks to be duplication on the application layer I think we need to rope in some people on the Mediawiki side. @larissagaulia do you know who might be a first point of contact?
And now I just got a resend of a different email to a different user, originally sent on April 11. That’s something like two out of three emails I’ve sent using «Email this user» the last month+ that are getting resent.
Random e-mail from today for an edit:
Confirm, neither have I. Hope it will not recur.
But now I haven't gotten any more copies since April 5, so whatever it was seems to have cleared for now. It's probably still a good idea to dig through the logs to get an idea what caused this since it could very well happen again and at larger scale.
In wikitext (,.;? followed by whitespace or text end will trigger URL termination just before.
We have a similar problem on mentioning plain URL in wikitext, interpreting terminating interpunction characters as part of surrounding text rather than part of URL. The same goes for many messaging tools.
@Xover Yes, that is exactly the notification I get repeatedly alongside with each repeated email.
I am the original recipient of the message by Xover discussed above. I confirm that I also still keep getting the message again and again. So far it has been resent to me 18 times. It is quite annoying not only because of the repeated messages themselves, but also because it floods my alerts in the Wikimedia projects.
@Xover if you could paste the headers of two of the messages that would help, the whole raw text would be the best however. I am curious how identical the emails are, as that would help indicate where they are being duplicated.
And now another two ticked in.
For ceeations, I think we just need to add you into phab trusted-contribs, I can do it when I'm back at my laptop if someone doesn't do it before me
@Xover I created https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P59624 that is restricted to WMF-NDA members and the subscribers of the paste (currently you), which should be secure to put the full headers
