Description

New problem is accordance. I want to find exact email on local databse instead of accordance emails. But - -loose not working

What I Did

H8mail - t target.txt - lb x/y/xxx.txt -sk - - loose



Hello,

The --loose argument will only skip the enforced email pattern recognition, so you can search for just "@example.com" or "john.doe" instead of having to have "john.doe@example.com".

Moreover h8mail will perform a pattern search when used locally, so if you're searching for "doe" with --loose it will find all names containing "doe" such as "john.doe", "jeff.doe". This is expected behavior.

If you want to have more granular filtering on your results either use precise emails without --loose, or export the results as CSV with the -o and import them into Excel/Libreoffice Calc.

Hope this helps!

Cheers

Hello,
Thansk for your kind answer. I was having output with -o output.txt

I will stop using --loose as you told.
If I change all lines of target.txt name@domain.com to "name@domain.com" for example would it solve my problem?

It's really slow when I'm searching 1million emails. Is there a way to make it faster? Thank you.

I don't think so, no. If the problem is from false pattern matching, h8mail will always look for globed patterns like here.

If you have many targets, split the target file and launch h8mail for each file simultaneously. If you have a big file to search for results, split the big file and feed to h8mail, it will automatically multi-task searching.

Hope this helps
