I'm not sure what the bug is.
Local users and Plex users are required to have an email address. If you configure an email server for Overseerr, in most cases, wouldn't you want all of the notifications enabled on the user accounts? And if not, go to your notification settings and toggle them off?
When it comes to the other notification agents, there isn't information for each of those users (like their Telegram Chat ID, Pushbullet access token, Pushover user key, etc) so that additional information has to be added per user. So again, going to notification settings and adding/toggling the options you/a user wants. What would need to be changed?

Yea off course does every user has an email setup but me and my users are used to opt-in such notification options. And since this can be very spamy to get mails for every approvement by default for example it would be a better default server wide that the user has to opt-in for notifications just like it is for every other notification agent.

So the suggested change here would be that the email agent is just like every other agent. The user has to enable the notification that he want on its own. Or at least have a server option that its opt-in by default instead of opt-out.

I fully agree with the need to have email notifications be opt-in instead of opt-out. Or at least a mechanism in which you can change the default for all users. I don't want to be sending emails to users unless they've consented to receiving them.
