Would it be possible to add a domain into a contact group?

I am using contact groups heavily in my filters and often I need to add several email addresses from the same domain to a single contact group. It would be nice if I could just add the domain to the contact group.

Can't you just use the from address directly for that?

e.g.

Yes, I suppose that works as well. I was hoping to clean up the filter conditions by pushing them into a contact group.

Are they both just as efficient? I've got a lot of filters and it takes a while for them to run on a large folder.

If you want speed then:

"mail.From.Email" Contains "@domain.com"


Will be the fastest way. Looking up a group is slow because it has to scan through the objects, read the list out, parse it into individual addresses. It could be optimized of course but at the moment it isn't.

Would that be faster than:
"mail.From.Domain" = "domain.com"

Would that be faster...
No significant difference.
