I’m looking for an option to exclude contacts who have been part of any mailing in the past 60 days (aka since 2022-11-01).

When setting up the segment filter I see under the **Contact Behavior and Actions** section in the droplist the option for **Sent any mail (date)**.

What does this filter mean exactly? I can’t find a detailed description in the documentation pages, or I’m totally overlooking it.

And is there perhaps a better/smarter way to get this filter setup?

When I set **_and_ Sent any mail (date) _less than_ 2022-11-00 00:00** it’s probably not going to give me the result I’m after… for that I think I would need it to be like **_and not_ Sent any mail (date) _greater than or equal_ 2022-11-00 00:00**.

Any suggestion / help is more than welcome.

you can try greater than -60 days

So this would mean anyone who was sent an email in the past 60 days.

Thanks @mikew, will give that one a try.

UPDATE: hmm… I don’t see that option in the droplist of my Mautic 4.4.4 environment ☹  
Is that located in the Contact Behavior and Actions section of the droplist in your Mautic environment?
