Filter Email Address Country of Origin Using Lookup

Assume I have a simple search that lists in a table the email addresses of those who recently sent an email:

index=email | table sender

 The email index does not have a field that identifies the country the sender address is from; however, it is known that the listed sender addresses are from many different countries. If I have a lookup that contains all the email addresses located in the US using the format:

email country
[email protected] US
[email protected] US
...

 How can I filter my search results to only contain sender email addresses from those located in the US (based off of the lookup), while also adding a field to the table that shows US?

@griffins 

you can use something simple like this

 

index=email | table sender | lookup lookup_name email as sender output country | dedup country

 

OR you can try with subsearch. Since the query only searches the senders from the lookup you can add country as US

 

index=email [ | inputlookup lookup_name | rename email as sender | table sender | format] | eval country="US" | table sender country 

 

 

Hope this helps
