The Email data quality service:

  • Checks that the syntax of the email address is valid according to the definitions in RFC 5321 and RFC 5322. Email addresses where the local part contains quotes or the domain is an IP address are not considered valid. Although these addresses are officially allowed according to the RFC definitions, these types of email addresses are not used in practice.
  • Extract the components of the email address, including the local part or user and the domain. Extracting the domain of an email address can be useful, for example, in determining the organization for which a person works.
