The Email generator scrambles the characters in an email address. It preserves formatting and keeps the @ and . characters.
The Email generator does not support linking. It can be self-consistent, but not consistent with another column. You cannot configure differential privacy.
The metadata object is populated from the EmailMetadata object. You can configure:
The domain to use for all of the email addresses in the destination database.
Domains for which to keep the email addresses as is in the destination database.
Whether to replace invalid email addresses with valid ones.
In the following example replacement for the Email generator, all of the destination email addresses use gmail.com as the domain.
Source email addresses from yahoo.com are not changed.
Invalid email addresses are replaced.
The generator is not consistent.
