  • Help - URL and email filter lists :

    • There are two lists each for email addresses and URLs to find under menu: Settings ❯ Email filters and menus: Settings ❯ URL filter
    • The left list is for search terms used in email addresses and URLs may not appear. With urls are the pure addresses meant, not their content. It is also possible to use URLs, which are not allowed to be added according to the filter list, only Later in the search no links were found which did not contain the Rules conform.
    • The list on the right indicates which search terms are in email addresses or URLs must be present.
    • It doesn't matter whether the search text is in front, in the back or in the middle. For example, .de excludes all German email addresses / only finds German addresses. However, theoretically also max . De tlef@yahoo.com
    • New in version 2022 Regular expressions can be used to mark the beginning of a word or the beginning or end of a URL/email.
      • ^info only finds email addresses beginning with info.
      • .com$ only finds email addresses ending in .com.
    • Of course not all lines in an email address or Url exist that it is excluded or found there This is sufficient if one line matches it. Formally, you could do it like that Express if .de and .com in the right column of the email filter list stand. " Only find email addresses which .de or .com included. " - an " or condition " in technical jargon. It is about however, a " non-exclusive or ", since there are certainly several Search words may apply, but at least one requirement for grabbing is the rule.
    • You can achieve an AND condition by entering two search words Separate within a line with a " + " sign. To the Example again in the right list of the e-mail filter lists, this time the line max + .de. With this we only find addresses which contain max and .de at the same time, for example max mustermann @ web . de but not max mustermann@yahoo.com and also not moritzmustermann @ web . de.

    • Microsoft Outlook Express, for example, can be separated by semicolons Import text files as address book (even if there is " comma separated " stands). Most mass mailers can handle text files, in which there is an email address in each line.

  • Help - Link tracing :


    The link tracking is the core function when searching for e-mails on the Internet. To successfully find email addresses, it is of great importance to understand the system behind it to have.

    ! means link tracking opening or clicking links on a website. With „ level “ or „ Level “ the Link tracking, is meant the number of clicks that you need, to go to a page.

    General procedure:


    Imagine you are on a homepage – here start your search. Of course you are looking on this site for email addresses, but also click all of them Links that you can find there. We assume there are three On the left side of the page, you now have three websites in front of you. you also search these pages for email addresses and click all links again. In case you average again Having found three links, you now have a total of nine websites in front of him.
    The number of links found grows very quickly. There But you also have links from advertising partners and other linked websites If you have clicked, you now also have websites in front of you that contain you don't have much to do with the home page and your work becomes unclear.

    ! It is usually better to use links Do not click the link to external sites and search on subpages of one and the same domain to restrict. Links from advertising partners in particular are often thematic nothing more to do with the original side and delayed the search time and the quality of the results are enormous.

    • Often parts of email addresses are used, sometimes just the @ through ASCII code is encoded, which then looks something like this: mail @ emailgrabber.de
    • Javascript is sometimes used to disguise email addresses. A simple trick is to chop the address up into separate parts, which are reconnected with +.
    • It also happens that email addresses are displayed like this mail (at) emailgrabber.de
      These cannot even be clicked in the browser, you can still track them down with the email grabber.
