Rules - filter by subdomain name

[Guest]

I need to filter by subdomain name, as in *@thisdomain.com. When I create a
rule from scratch, Outlook seems only to allow entry of email addresses from
my Contacts or Address Book. When I create a rule from a message, then try
to modify it to remove the specific account name, it says the email address
is invalid. For example, change (e-mail address removed) to thisdomain.com, so the
rule filters all mail To: that domain. I get hundreds of messages a day, and
creating a separate rule for every message is, well, just nuts, not to say
life-draining.

Thanks

Did you try just thisdomain.com? Type in it the address field and cancel the
dialog when outlook says it can't find an match and brings up the dialog to
create a new contact or pick an existing one.

Worked fine. Just would suggest changes to the interface so that performing
the action did not require ignoring an apparent error.

Thanks
