Recipe: New Sender Review
Process Spark's GateKeeper queue of new senders. Review each, accept legitimate contacts, and block unwanted ones.
Prerequisite: Read the use-spark base skill for command reference and filter syntax.
Access level required: triage.
Steps
Step 1: Check the new senders queue
spark emails Inbox --new-senders
This shows emails from senders that GateKeeper has quarantined (explicit mode). The normal inbox view filters these out automatically.
Step 2: Review each sender
For each new sender email, read the content:
spark thread <id>
Decide: is this a legitimate contact or unwanted mail?
Step 3: Accept legitimate senders
spark contact-action acceptContact sender@company.com
This moves the sender past GateKeeper - their future emails appear in the normal inbox.
To accept an entire domain:
spark contact-action acceptDomain company.com
Step 4: Block unwanted senders
spark contact-action blockContact spammer@example.com
To block an entire domain:
spark contact-action blockDomain example.com
Step 5: Verify
spark emails Inbox --new-senders
Confirm the queue is empty or report what's left.
Tips
- GateKeeper only shows new sender emails when
--new-sendersis used - they're filtered from the normal inbox view. - When in doubt, accept the contact first. You can always block them later.
acceptDomainis useful for legitimate companies with multiple sender addresses (support@, billing@, etc.).blockDomainis aggressive - use it for clearly spammy domains, not for individual unwanted senders.- Run this recipe regularly (daily or every few days) so legitimate contacts don't wait too long in the queue.
- The new senders count appears at the top of the inbox output when there are queued items.
