You can define here which people are allowed to send you messages. With the default setting "My contacts and anyone in my courses", all people you have either explicitly accepted as contacts or with whom you share a course room can send you messages.

With the option "My contacts only" you restrict who is allowed to send you messages. Other people must then first make a contact request that you accept before they can send you messages.
