How Can I Disable PM System From New Users

I'm interested to know if Vbulletin provides an out of the box solution to limit the PM system from being utilized by brand new accounts? If not, can someone point me to a mod that is compatible with 3.8.2 which allows me to set a maximum post limit before a registered user can access the PM system. This would help me out a lot from stupid spam accounts which gain access to the board and then embarrass me by sending out spam messages to everyone on the board.

No mod needed.

Go to Usergroup Manager > Add New Usergroup
Create Usergroup Based On - Registered Usergroup > Go
Give it a new name - Whatever
Create Permissions Based off of Usergroup > Registered Usergroup
Save

Now make a Promotion (Usergroups > Promotions)
Add New
Usergroup - Registered Users
Posts - xxxx
Promotion Strategy - Posts
Type - Primary
Move to - Whatever
Save

Usergroup Manager - go to edit Registred Users
Private Messages > Maximum Stored Messages - 0
Save
