(your base search that results in one record per email with source, dest and subject...) 
| table EmailSource EmailDest EmailSubject
| rex field=EmailSource "[^@]*@(?<DomainSource>.*)"
| fillnull DomainSource value="((Domain not found))"
| eventstats count as DomainCount by DomainSource
| sort 0 -DomainCount DomainSource EmailSource
| table DomainSource DomainCount EmailSource EmailDest EmailSubject

Ans a run-anywhere search with some test data to prove out the above code...

| makeresults 
| eval mydata="junkemail,dest1@dest.com,Test Bad Email!!!!bill2@gates.com,dest2@dest2.com,Pay Me Now!!!!bill1@gates.com,dest3@dest2.com,Pay Me Now!!!!bill1@gates.com,dest4@dest4.com,Pay Me Now Or Else!!!!steve@apple.com,everybody@world.com,I Am Risen Because It's Cool" 
| makemv delim="!!!!" mydata 
| mvexpand mydata 
| makemv delim="," mydata
| eval EmailSource=mvindex(mydata,0),  EmailDest=mvindex(mydata,1), EmailSubject=mvindex(mydata,2)
| table EmailSource EmailDest EmailSubject
