- Domain
A domain is simply the portion of any email address that follows the @. It helps identify the sender of an email.
Each Alias Address has a domain of course. Most of the time when we refer to a Domain, it is the Domain of the sender to your Alias Address. Think of Domain, or Sender Domain, as the party that is sending you the email.
In some cases, if the sender domain is say "hotmail.com", you will not learn much as to who sent the email. Typically your sender domains will be more meaningful, as when it is say "ebay.com" or "amazon.com"
