How to save mails from a speciafied domain
There are a few ways to save emails from a specific domain:
Method 1: Using a mail client
- Set up a mail client like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or Apple Mail.
- Configure the client to connect to your email account.
- Create a filter or rule to forward emails from the specific domain to a designated folder or account.
For example, in Microsoft Outlook:
- Go to "Home" tab > "Rules" > "Manage Rules & Alerts"
- Click "New Rule"
- Select "Start from a blank rule"
- Choose "Apply rule on messages I receive"
- Click "More Options"
- Select "With specific words in the sender's address"
- Enter the domain name (e.g., "@example.com")
- Click "OK"
- Choose the action you want to take (e.g., "Move it to the specified folder")
Method 2: Using a mail server
- Set up a mail server like Postfix, Sendmail, or Exim.
- Configure the server to forward emails from the specific domain to a designated account or folder.
For example, in Postfix:
- Edit the
/etc/postfix/main.cf
file - Add the following lines:
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
- Create a new file
/etc/postfix/virtual
with the following content:@example.com [email protected]
- Restart the Postfix service
Method 3: Using a third-party service
- Use a third-party service like SaneBlackHole or Mailstrom to filter and save emails from a specific domain.
- Configure the service to forward emails from the specific domain to a designated account or folder.
For example, with SaneBlackHole:
- Sign up for an account
- Configure the service to forward emails from the specific domain to a designated account or folder
- Set up the service to run on your mail server or use their cloud-based solution
Method 4: Using a script
- Write a script using a programming language like Python or Perl to filter and save emails from a specific domain.
- Use a library like
imaplib
orpoplib
to connect to your email account. - Use regular expressions or string matching to identify emails from the specific domain.
- Save the emails to a designated folder or account.
For example, in Python:
import imaplib
import email
# Connect to the email account
mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
mail.login('[email protected]', 'your_password')
mail.select('inbox')
# Search for emails from the specific domain
status, messages = mail.search(None, '(FROM "example.com")')
# Save the emails to a designated folder
for num in messages[0].split():
status, msg = mail.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
raw_message = msg[0][1]
message = email.message_from_bytes(raw_message)
# Save the message to a file or database
with open('example.com_emails.txt', 'a') as f:
f.write(str(message))
Note: These methods may require some technical expertise and may not work with all email providers or configurations.
