Distribution list address finder: all-staff@, team@ and newsletter@
In short: Upload a list with an Email column. Addresses that read like a company-wide, team, mailing list or announcement address are tagged by type, and you download them, the rest, or the whole list. Limit: It matches a fixed set of words and endings and misses other names.
Upload the list and the tool reads the part before the @ of every address. It tags company-wide words (all, everyone, staff), team and group words, mailing list words (list, listserv, distro, dl- prefix) and announcement words (newsletter, announce), then lets you download those rows, the rest, or the whole list with a type column.
Price: this tool is free. Checking a whole email list is from $9/mo, and the first 100 checks are free with Google, no card. Check your list free nowSee pricing

How do I find group email addresses in a list?
- Upload the .xlsx or CSV, or paste the cells with the header row first. It needs an Email column.
- Read the counts and the table of types found.
- Download the group addresses, the list without them, or the whole list with group_group and group_note columns added.
- Check the rows you keep before you send.
Example
- You enter
- Example list of seven addresses: all-staff@, team@, sales-team@, dl_marketing@, newsletter@, ava.example@ and dev-discuss@.
- You get
- Seven rows read: 6 group addresses and 1 other. all-staff@ is company-wide, team@ and sales-team@ are team or group, dl_marketing@ and dev-discuss@ are mailing list and newsletter@ is announcements.
- Limits
- Runs in your browser. Only the words on the page are matched.
Which addresses does it flag?
Four types. Company-wide: all, everyone, allstaff, employees, staff. Team or group: team, group, board, members, alumni. Mailing list: list, listserv, distro, a name ending in -list or -discuss, or starting with dl-. Announcements: newsletter, announce, updates, digest. Dots, hyphens and underscores are ignored when the whole name is a word, and a plus tag is dropped first.
Why take group addresses out of a lead list?
A group address does not belong to one person. A message to it goes to every member, so you cannot tell who read it, and the verified result is for the address, not the people behind it. Cold outreach is better aimed at one named contact.
Single-function inboxes such as sales@ and support@ are covered by the role-based email filter and the role account language splitter.
What does it miss?
A group with an unusual name, such as a project name, looks like a person's address and is not found. A word on the list used as a first name or a company name can also match by accident. The tool reads text only and cannot see how many people receive the mail.
Who uses this tool, and for what?
- Cold email senders
- Remove addresses that reach many people before writing to one contact.
- Sales ops
- Find group inboxes that were saved as a contact in a CRM export.
- Event teams
- Separate announcement and list addresses from attendee rows.
What can’t this tool tell you?
- It matches a fixed set of words and endings and misses other names.
- A word on the list used as a name can be flagged by mistake.
- It cannot see how many people an address reaches.
- A group address says nothing about whether the address exists.
Common questions
- Does it flag team@?
- Yes, as team or group. Whether to keep it is your call.
- Does it flag sales-team@?
- Yes. A name ending in -team, -group, -list, -all or -staff is flagged.
- Does it flag dl-style addresses?
- Yes. A name starting with dl followed by a dot, hyphen or underscore is read as a distribution list.
- Is info@ a group address?
- Not here. Use the role-based email filter for that.
- Can I keep only the group rows?
- Yes. Download the group addresses file.
- Is my list uploaded anywhere?
- No. It is read in your browser.
A tidy list can still be full of dead addresses.
Extracting, deduplicating and syntax checks all work on the text of an address. None of them can tell whether the mailbox exists. Only the server that hosts it can answer that, through an SMTP check, and that is what the paid product does.
- Upload the cleaned file as it is: CSVs up to 100,000 rows
- A real SMTP mailbox check on every row, with catch-all detection
