@Brad:
Assuming you want an automated addition of addresses from domain
@example.com of entrant emails into your address book, start along
Configuration -> Filtering and define a name for this rule.  As
condition, add the line

```
from matchcase "@example.com"
```

Next, down in the menu of action configuration, there is an entry
"Add to address book" then asking you which line of the header to
consider (e.g., from, or cc) and which book/folder of your address
books should store these new addresses.  This yields an entry
"action" like

```
add_to_addressbook "From" "addrbook-000002.xml"
```

Finally, add this to the already existing filters in use.

Regards.
