How to filter mails from a domain??

[Jinx]

Hi,
I would like to keep the mails I receive from a particular domain
under a certain label. How can I create a filter for that??

ex: <anything>@xyz.com should be labeled "xyz".

Thanks,
Amjith.

Enter just that in the from box on the filter page. You might have to
enclose it in ()'s, eg (@xyz.com). I have a few filters that work
exactly like that. The best way to setup a new filter is to use the
"Test Search" button on the filter page. If you have email in your
account that matches the filter you will know immediately if it will
work.

Remember you can also use the "plus" address technique for filtering
your mail from a particular domain. I haven't really started using
this yet, but I can see how useful it could be. The basic idea is that
when you give your email address to some website, you don't give them
your plain old gmail address, you add a little label to your username
after a plus sign.

So instead of signing up as "youra...@gmail.com".

You sign in as "youradd...@gmail.com"

Then it is simple to set up a new filter such that anything
"TO:youradd...@gmail.com" gets labeled "xyz".

So now even if you get emails from different domains -- but from people
that only know your "+xyz" email address -- it will be filtered
properly.

The + addresses are very useful. One use is to make sure email is from
where it claims to be. For example I gave a specific address to my bank
that is not used for anything else. I apply the label Bank to all email
sent to this address. This way I know which emails claiming to be from
my bank are legitimate. The + addresses can also be used to identify
where people get your email address. This and sneakemail.com can
drastically reduce SPAM and phising.

A handy hint for using sneakemail. Apply the label Sneakemail to all
email sent from sneakemail.com. This way you always know what email was
sent through sneakemail, even if Gmail catches it and puts it in the
Spam folder.
