When you configure email masking, you return random ASCII characters in the email address by default. For example, when you mask Georgesmith@yahoo.com, the results might be KtrIupQAPyk@vdSKh.BIC.

The source input data can contain alphanumeric characters, and the following special characters: _, ., and @

The following examples of email addresses are valid formats:

David_john.Waugh@gmail.com

DavidJohn1988@yahoo.com

The following examples of email addresses are not in valid formats:

david@john@gmail.com

david$%^&john@gmail.com

If the source does not contain a valid format, the task replaces with default values from the

defaultValue.xml

file.

You can configure email masking as repeatable between tasks, or you can configure email masking to be repeatable in one task. To return realistic email addresses, configure advanced email masking.
