Find the contact address data cleansing rules in the following repository location:

[Informatica_DQ_Content]\Rules\Contact_Data_Cleansing

The following table describes the contact data cleansing rules in the Core accelerator:

Name	Description
rule_Email_Parse	Parses email addresses from data fields.
rule_Email_Parse_and_Validate	Parses email addresses from data fields and validates the format of each email address.
rule_Email_Parse_Into_Mailbox_Domain	Parses email addresses into mailbox, domain, and subdomain ports. For example, the rule parses `info@informatica.com` in the following manner: Mailbox: info Subdomain: informatica Domain: com
rule_Email_Validation	Validates the format of email addresses. The rule does not verify that the email addresses are accurate or active. The rule returns Valid or Invalid.
rule_Identify_Suspect_Names	Identifies names that might not be genuine person names. The rule compares the input values to a reference table of names that are unlikely to be genuine. For example, the reference table includes the names of fictional characters.
rule_Phone_Country_Code_Validation	Verifies that the country code in a telephone number is correct for the given country name. When the country name identifies a United States territory, the rule verifies that the country code is correct and that the three-digit area code is a valid area code for a United States territory. For example, the rule validates 1340 as a country code and area code in the United States Virgin Islands.
