Filterer
The
Filterer is
designed to withdraw from your lists any unwanted types of
addresses or domains according to the options you
indicate.
For
example, you have a large list of different e-mail addresses
but need to extract from it into a separate file only those
which belong strictly to France (the .fr domain) and Germany
(the .de domain).
Use
the Filterer to
solve this problem and many similar ones:
-
Open the Filterer’s tab in the
List Processing application;
-
Specify your large mixed list
as the Input file;
-
Specify the file to place the
e-mails that suit you as the Output file;
-
Specify the file to place the
e-mails which are filtered out as the Rejected file;
-
Set the necessary options to
indicate the criteria for the e-mails to filter out;
-
Click the “Go” button and
wait for the processing to complete;
-
Check the log and enjoy the
results.
Please note that the Filterer works with
whole types of
e-mail addresses. If you need to remove from your list some
certain single e-mail addresses, use the Remover.
Processing options
Setting the Filterer’s processing
options you indicate the criteria for the e-mail addresses to
filter out.
There
are the lists of major top-level domains and mail services
available as the options. Checking the options in these lists
you give the Filterer
the order not to place into the output file e-mail
addresses which belong to the corresponding top-level domains
and mail services domains.
The three options under the
“ISP” label (“California ISP”, “Virginia ISP” and “Washington
ISP”) allow you to filter out the e-mail addresses residing in
California
,
Virginia
, and
Washington
states. The lists of the
domains located in these states are named
“california-isp.txt”, “virginia-isp.txt” and
“washington-isp.txt” and are situated in the subfolder
“Config” of the application’s main folder. You can edit these
lists as necessary, but if you add new domain names, please
make sure that they are placed into the file according to the
alphabetical order.
The
following options are also available:
Starts with digit:
Check this option to filter out the e-mail addresses which
begin with any digit (0 to 9). This is useful if you want to
avoid having in your lists useless services e-mail addresses
which are usually present in message headers. It’s true that
at the same time you may lose some valid e-mails, but these
are negligible in comparison with lots of addresses like
“1AWwNT-00066J-00@storage.net” which may overfill your mailing
lists.
All
foreign domains except these:
Check this option if you need to filter out all e-mail
addresses which belong to national domains; specify the
exceptions if necessary (either with a dot or without it;
separated by commas or/and spaces). For example, specifying
“.fr, .de” in this field you will solve the problem mentioned
above and get rid of all domains which do not belong to
France
and
Germany
.
If
you check this option but do not specify any exceptions, all
e-mail addresses belonging to all national domains
will be filtered out.
Custom criteria:
Check this option to specify the word (or several words
separated by commas or/and spaces) which make an e-mail
address unsuitable for you. The Filterer will filter
out all addresses which include any of these words in any
position.
For
example, if you set this option and write the line “company,
info” in the adjacent field, the following addresses will be
filtered out:
joe@company.deinfo@my-company.com
the_company_one@aol.com
info@some.net
manager@business.info
linform@berlin.de
Processing results
The
Output file will contain the e-mails that satisfy the options
you had set (e. g. only the ones in the domains .fr and
.de).
The
Rejected file will contain all the other e-mails from the
input file (e. g. only those not in the domains
.fr and .de).
The
original input file will remain
unchanged.
