Email Validation
The Contact Validation task generates email status codes when validating email addresses.
Email status codes describe the results of processing for each email element. The codes indicate how each email element was validated or corrected.
Email status codes appear in the tns_StatusNbr_email_OUT field. The email status description displays in the tns_StatusDescription_email_OUT field. The Contact Validation task adds these fields to output files.
