eg From: is *@somedomain.com

Also can we do From: is not OKperson@somedomain.com somehow?

Chosen solution

The FiltaQuilla add-on offers regexes in the address and subject fields. Another addon, Expression Search / GmailUI adds regexes to message body text. Note that while this second addon is presented as a search tool, it does also provide new filtering options.

Don't forget that filters execute in the order they are listed. Set your list so that examples A1 and A2 are listed last.

Try to imagine the methodology that you would use if you did this task manually. Then set up your filters to follow the same reasoning.
