Filtering emails to a list from people outside the list

[Chris Wight]

My company uses email lists for each department, so people can send certain messages to all of sales, marketing, finance, etc.

These lists get abused and a ton of email ends up in my inbox because someone used the list address to sign up for something stupid.

How can I set up a filter to trash emails to the list, but exclude the people ON the list. I have the list of addresses I'd want to exclude from the filter.

Thanks!

Chris,

Can you clarify what you mean by "trash emails to the list, but exclude the people ON the list"? Do you mean you want to 

- delete (trash) all emails sent to the list, but get mails sent to individual people on the To/Cc list, 

OR

- delete mails sent to the list, if sent from specific people?

Reason I ask is I wonder if you want to do the opposite of the first : delete mails from individual people if replied to the full list, but do get mails sent to the full list (as you would miss group-wide communication otherwise)? 

An example would really help.

Cheers.

From what I understand Chris wants to exclude newsletters and other external email from the email he receive. He has a list that includes the senders he want to receive from said group. If from (group) to (group), let through. If (not from group) to (group), delete.

I think Chris' problem can be solved by from:{ema...@domain.com ema...@domain.com} to:list:in...@example.com .

Also, if all accepted email is from company domain you can simply do from:@company.com

I have a question:

I want all email sent between certain senders to be filtered: If I use any variation of the OR variables, direct email to me will be filtered, I don't want that. I want to apply filter if two or more of the accepted list have sent email.

Example 1:

Person 1 sends this email:

Hello world

To person 2, person 3, person 4 and me.

Person 2 sends this email:

Hello everybody

To person 1, person 3, person 4 and me.

I want these to be filtered similarly.
