Another version of this is to use {} instead of (), so:
{ad...@domain.com ad...@other.com}
is the same as:
(ad...@domain.com OR ad...@other.com)
Even this will catch, but you have to be aware it could catch more
than you mean:
{addy1 addy2}
I checked the link even though I had already created several
'multi-filters' on my own through trial-and-error and I notice that you
are supposed to put parentheses around the list of "From" addresses. My
multi-filters seem to work just fine without the parentheses. Does
anyone know what functionality I might not have noticed was missing?
Now that is a great suggestion, Google how about this be a feature request.
Appears that with the latest UI (as of this writing), that using curly braces instead of parentheses accomplishes the job.from:{...@company.com OR sen...@company.com}

I just tried since the link shows the old gmail UI and that is not the case any more.

How do I create a filter to exclude multiple email addresses from my filter?
I am looking to filter all incoming emails from a list of about 40 members AND if either the subject line or message contains a certain stated number "123" forward that to a specific email.
I am setting this up in a new email account. I have added all the 40 member email addresses to my contacts and have them as a named group.
@andy can i not filter mails from bunch of people of similar organization of same domain into one label 'domain' as { *@domain.com} .

Have a gmail filter defined as:Matches:from:(@aspendigico.com@karole.degnim.kwces.gastroenteritis.stevedyke.com @mx17.footprinttente.com OR child.glftd46354@kb4apnxedy1l0i.w0.wbypfv.tk OR orm.gtwa46385@vr49t8aphe1211.w3124-b0b8.ekwyms.tkOR....@skill.komacool.com OR Cat Litter Coupons OR Mrs.Christine Lagarde) subject:(FamilySupport OR Letters From Santa OR AsianBeauties Team OR Invest Gold Today OR North Pole OR NewCarsPlus OR RussianBeautyOnline OR Russian_babes)
Do this: Delete it
Do you think, the symantics of this filter is correct,
...
from:(@aspendigico.com OR @karole.degnim.kwces.gastroenteritis.stevedyke.com OR @mx17.footprinttente.com OR child.glftd46354@kb4apnxedy1l0i.w0.wbypfv.tk OR orm.gtwa46385@vr49t8aphe1211.w3124-b0b8.ekwyms.tk OR @skill.komacool.com OR "Cat Litter Coupons" OR "Mrs.Christine Lagarde")
subject:(FamilySupport OR "Letters From Santa" OR "AsianBeauties Team" OR "Invest Gold Today" OR "North Pole" OR NewCarsPlus OR RussianBeautyOnline OR Russian_babes)Finally, consider how this works. The filter will match things that have any of the listed FROM addresses, and at the same time, any of the listed Subject text. Therefore, an email message that comes from one of the listed email addresses but doesn't have one of the specified Subject lines, would not be found by this filter, and the filter won't delete the message.If that isn't what you wanted, you could overcome that by adding an OR between the from:(...) part and the subject:(...) part.

Folkscan someone advice how to read the domain of this email address without opening it - the email in concern is "WWWJOSEPH" (it is in the spam folder) placing the cursor on the from normally reveals the address domain ( for filtering purposes)Thanks in advance

There is no information there. Only the graphical image of the text we can read.You could put those names into your filter, of course. Filters don't need to filter on the domain name.I've heard it said that it's not harmful to open an email within Gmail, especially one that's in your Spam label. Gmail doesn't automatically run attached files, like Microsoft's email programs do. So there's no chance of infecting your computer simply by opening the message. If it's in Spam, Gmail doesn't load the graphics files (which can send your address back to the sender). So I think it might be OK to open a message as long as you don't try clicking on any links -- and again, if it's in Spam already, Gmail doesn't show you any of the links so you can't click on them anyway! With the message open, you can see the headers, even open the original message (which is just text so it's harmless).Regards,Andy

Gmail shows the links in Spam Vew, but they are not clickable. ...
Is there a limit for how many emails can be used in ta single filter? (In other words, (How many times can we use "OR" in a single email filter?)

- By default, on from chrome on a desktop, if you use this field (see screenshot below), enter an email address, and then press enter, it adds a comma.. which results in the filter not working at all.
- Whenever you use email (any email service since the dawn of email) and send an email to multiple addresses, you separate them with a comma or a semicolon. The example below puts in a comma by default. This is confusing.
- I've never tried to use filters or customize anything in my gmail before. Nowhere in these instructions:https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6579?hl=en (to which I was constantly redirected) do I see anything about how to use these features.

Indeed there was a comma at first, but:(a) The comma did not appear in the final Filter.(b) The filter does work. Why did you say it doesn't?
(c) Even when I purposefully added a comma back and made it so that it "stuck" in the final filter, the filter still works with the trailing comma.Why do you think that the comma prevents the filter from working? My experience is otherwise. If your filter didn't work, the cause was not the comma.- Whenever you use email (any email service since the dawn of email) and send an email to multiple addresses, you separate them with a comma or a semicolon. The example below puts in a comma by default. This is confusing.If "every email service since the dawn of email" uses a comma, then why is a comma confusing?My guess is Gmail adds the comma at the end, just to make it easier to write or paste another email address after the first one, without them becoming one long address. It's just a separator. It says, "here is the end of this address", nothing more. If you start typing there and you type before the comma, what you type becomes part of the first address (even if it makes no sense that way). If you type after the comma, it becomes part of a second address.- I've never tried to use filters or customize anything in my gmail before. Nowhere in these instructions:https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6579?hl=en (to which I was constantly redirected) do I see anything about how to use these features.Perhaps you should have tried the link that was given earlier in this message thread:I think it's more helpful for the questions you're asking.3. ...You're missing the context... (see below)What am I missing?Do you mean the fact that there are semicolons in that picture? I see them. And? In Gmail, you don't need them because they don't do anything other than separate those addresses. Gmail also uses commas and space characters as separators between things in a list. You could write it like this:or this:
Gmail might add or remove extra separating characters as it sees fit, but it does that only to alter the appearance. They don't change the function.
The point: Henry had the solution that worked for me and others (bottom line). Commas do not work (yes I can enter them, but they do not function when filtering by email address - see my earlier screenshot for how I entered them). When I entered multiple emails with commas NONE of them were filtered out. When I entered them with OR or "that line" it did work.
... When I entered multiple emails with commas NONE of them were filtered out. ...
... What could have improved my experience drastically would have been an error message if the format of my multiple email addresses list were incorrect..
