Email Check

The Email Check processor checks for Email Addresses in an attribute, and validates them syntactically; that is, that the address conforms to a correct pattern for Email Addresses.

Note that Email Check uses a reference list of regular expressions to check for valid email addresses. You may change the rules used by the Email Check by modifying the list of regular expressions used for the check.
