Why have the initial pre-message then? Why not just have a client that prompts on unknown senders?

Edit: or maybe that’s what you meant?

Request was just a generic term for asking permission in some way, a client prompt would work. Preferably logged in some fashion.

I think you could probably do this now with a good enough client and mail processing rules.
