Advanced email masking

Advanced email masking

You can create a realistic email address from a first name, last name, and domain name.
When you configure advanced email masking, you can configure parameters to mask the user name and the domain name in the email address. For example, a source table might contain columns called First_Name and Last_Name. You can configure the email address to contain the first character of First_Name and seven characters of the last name. Define a domain name for the email address. The
Masking
task creates an address with the following syntax:
VSingh@mycompany.com
