Typology Filter Error

[michaelwilding]

I am creating a simple typology filter and it does not seem to be functioning as expected, I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction as to why. It is a filter to exclude email addresses from a certain domain in the send.

I create the filter as:

Email Domain Equal To domain.com

When I do this the Preview on the filter shows the correct number of records that would be included in the send of 124072. My understanding is that this is the number of records that would be sent to after the typology rule runs (assuming full database send), but when the typology rule runs it excludes a completely different number of around 123k. If I change the Equal To to Does Not Equal, it doesn't exclude anybody, which also does not make any sense.

I have other typology rules running correctly, so assume I am missing something in the settings here?

Hi @michaelwilding ,

Filtering Typology with condition as email domain equal to 'domain.com' excludes whoever has mail id has domain @domain.com 

When targeting recipients with @domain.com will get excluded in delivery,

Thank you. In that case setting it to Not Equal to should only include those domains? Although it doesn't seem to work that way. I need to set the domains we want to include because it is a list of four vs a very big list of exclusions. What would I need to do in the filter for it to work that way? I have tried Included and Don't Include.

Hi @michaelwilding ,

To exclude few domains from target list (example, domain.com, domain1.com, domain2.com) use condition as, email domain is included in 'domain.com,domain2.com,domain3.com'

The above typology rule excluded all who has domain as domain.com,domain2.com,domain3.com.

Whereas to target only few domains (Example: domain.com, domain2.com, domain3.com), give condition as, email domain not in 'domain.com,domain2.com,domain3.com'

You can see all other domains got excluded,

This is great, thank you. I had the format wrong. How does the logic work if you put one email domain in each line and have OR between them, instead of having them in one field?
