I am using filters to better organize my emails. What I am trying to do , I believe, is relatively straight forward but I am not getting the result I'm looking for.
I get emails from "somename@somedomain.com" and emails from lots of other sources using the same domain. What I was to do is send any emails that are from "somename@somedomain.com" to get one label and emails from any other address with the same domain and NOT "somename" will get another label.
So I went into my filters, I created a filter that has "somename@somedomain.com" in the "From" field. That gets label A.
I created another filter that has "@somedomain.com" as the from section and "from:somename@somedomain.com" in the "doesn't have" field. These are to have label B applied to them.
I'm getting emails from "somename@somedomain.com" labeled both A and B. I've also tried putting "somedomain.com -somename@somedomain.com" in the second filters from field and have got the same result.
Could someone tell me what I may be doing incorrectly here?

Just got this to work by creating both filters in the
Fromfield. The following are the searches applied (note: I'm not sure whether or not you were using quotation marks in your filters before, but I did not)Label A (for the specific email address at the domain)
from:(name@domain.com)Label B (all emails from the domain other than the specific email address)
from:(domain.com -name)
