Rule for Moving Messages Received From Senders of a Certain Domain

[cs170a]

Is there a way to create a rule whereby messages received from any sender
from a specific domain to a specific folder? I can't create separate rules
for each member of the domain since there are too many.

yes I use "if the sender's address contains" @ibm.com then send to the IBM
folder.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Use the "with specific words in the sender's address" condition and specify
the domain as the specific words.

Thank you very much. I glanced over the different alternatives, but missed it.

Hi I am also trying to set this up. However using the below method, not all
of the mail from @domain.com is being moved. Example :

Inbox
From
My Name [[email protected]] - This will be moved
My Name - This will not be moved

Are there any more suggestions?

My suggestion is that you post the actual text of the rule, changing only the
mail address. We can't begin to guess what rule you're using.

Nick,

Did you figure it out? Because I have the same problem. When I create the
rule condition "with specific words in the sender's address" and put
"@abc.com", the rule will not be applied to contacts that I have -- I assume
it is because in the sender's address field it says "Jason" instead of
"(e-mail address removed)". Does anyone know how to get that to work?

Rules can't be applied to contacts, only to mail messages. If you used the
"with specific words in the sender's address", then it doesn't matter what you
see in the From field.
