 * I don’t want to use multisite but have different user bases on one wordpress 
   install. Similar to Yammer.com, I would like to have different user networks 
   based on their email extension. How would this be possible?

 * Operationally speaking, what does a “user network” mean? How does it change the
   behavior of your site?

 * So, I want users with [@domainname](https://wordpress.org/support/users/domainname/).
   com to see each other, I want users with [@hey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hey/).
   com to see each other, but I don’t want [@domainname](https://wordpress.org/support/users/domainname/).
   com users to see people with [@hey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hey/).
   com email addresses and vice versa. So people with the same email domain become
   the same network. Just like Yammer does.
 * What would be the best approach? I know it exists and people have integrated 
   such an approach but I don’t know how. It would be a waste to create a multisite
   because the sites will be exactly the same..

 * Are you using buddypress or something similar? If so, their support forums might
   be the best place to ask this.

 * No despite I compared it with the way Yammer works I don’t necessarily need Buddypress..
   It’s about the fact that user groups can only see themselves and not others..
