Email Address Filtering

Email address filtering (Filter Addresses) allows you to filter email addresses from specific domains.

You need to specify the path to the file containing the email addresses to filter and choose one of two modes:

  • Keep email addresses that match the filtering conditions (Keep specified addresses/domains) and remove all others.
  • Remove email addresses that match the filtering conditions (Remove unwanted addresses/domains).

Keep/Remove Addresses From These Domains Only

Here you can specify filenames containing lists of domains to filter (that is, to keep or remove, see Sample Domain List). Email addresses whose domains end with one of the strings from the domain list will be filtered.

For example, if the domain list contains the string abac.com, the following addresses will be filtered: user1@abac.com, user2@abac.com, user1@cabac.com, user1@a.abac.com, and user1@b.abac.com (see Sample Email List).

If the Add Prefix @ option is enabled, only user1@abac.com and user2@abac.com will be filtered.

If both Add Prefix @ and Add Prefix . are enabled, the following will be filtered: user1@abac.com, user2@abac.com, user1@a.abac.com, and user1@b.abac.com.

Keep/Remove Addresses With These Endings

This setting is similar to the previous one, but allows you to specify filtering domains directly in the program interface without using external files. For example:

@abac.com
.abac.com

Keep/Remove Addresses Containing These Strings

Here you can specify substrings that an email address must contain.

For example, the filter substring @google allows filtering the following address from the sample: user1@google.com.

If Multi Column Support is enabled for mailing lists, you can specify whether the substring search should be performed across the entire original line (In Whole Lines) or in specific columns (In These Fields), for example: 5,6 (column numbers are comma-separated).

If both settings (In Whole Lines and In These Fields) are disabled, the substring search will be performed only in the email address column.

You can use special characters in filter substrings:

  • ^ — represents the beginning of the email address (or the beginning of the line being searched).
  • $ — represents the end of the email address (or the end of the line being searched).

For example, if you specify the filter ^user1, all email addresses starting with user1 will be filtered.

The list of filter substrings can be loaded from a file (Strings File).

Output Files

  • Output File — contains the filtered email addresses.
  • Removed File — contains email addresses that did not pass the filtering conditions.
