Instead of looking at the entire email address, domain filtering focuses on the portion after the <code>@<\/code> symbol.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-text\">john@gmail.com\r\nmary@yahoo.com\r\npeter@company.com\r\nsusan@company.com<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>The domains are:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-text\">gmail.com\r\nyahoo.com\r\ncompany.com\r\ncompany.com<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Once the domain is separated from the email address, you can filter contacts by company, email provider, country-specific domain, business domain, or any other domain category.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_What_Is_an_Email_Domain\"><\/span>1. What Is an Email Domain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An email address normally consists of two main parts:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-text\">username@domain<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-text\">john@company.com<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>john<\/code> is the local part or mailbox name.<\/li>\n<li><code>@<\/code> separates the two parts.<\/li>\n<li><code>company.com<\/code> is the domain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another example:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-text\">mary.sales@business.org<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>The domain is:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-text\">business.org<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Domain filtering therefore means identifying the part after <code>@<\/code> and using it as a filtering criterion.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Why_Filter_Emails_by_Domain\"><\/span>2. Why Filter Emails by Domain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Domain filtering has many practical applications.<\/p>\n<p>You might want to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Find all Gmail addresses.<\/li>\n<li>Find all Yahoo addresses.<\/li>\n<li>Find all Outlook addresses.<\/li>\n<li>Find contacts from a particular company.<\/li>\n<li>Separate business and personal addresses.<\/li>\n<li>Identify government or educational domains.<\/li>\n<li>Remove unwanted domains.<\/li>\n<li>Count contacts by domain.<\/li>\n<li>Group contacts by organisation.<\/li>\n<li>Create separate marketing segments.<\/li>\n<li>Identify unusual domains.<\/li>\n<li>Analyse where your subscribers come from.<\/li>\n<li>Filter a large CSV or Excel file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, a B2B company might want to identify all contacts from:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-text\">company.com\r\nbusiness.org\r\nenterprise.net<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>while excluding common consumer email providers.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Understand_the_Difference_Between_Domain_and_Top-Level_Domain\"><\/span>3. Understand the Difference Between Domain and Top-Level Domain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>It is important to distinguish between the full domain and the top-level domain.<\/p>\n<p>Consider:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-text\">john@company.co.uk<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>The full domain is:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-text\">company.co.uk<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>The top-level domain is:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-text\">.uk<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Similarly:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-text\">mary@university.edu<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>has the domain:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-text\">university.edu<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>and the top-level domain:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"language-text\">.edu<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>For most email filtering tasks, you should filter using the <strong>full domain<\/strong>, because it provides much more specific information.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Example_of_a_Large_Email_List\"><\/span>4.
