You can split text in postgres

select email from users;
bob@example.com
mary@example.com
select split_part(email, '@', 1) from users;
bob
mary
select split_part(email, '@', 2) from users;
@example.com
@example.com

Which can be helpful when sanitizing data:

update users
  set email = split_part(email, '@', 1) || '@example.com';
