preg_match('/^([a-zA-Z0-9\-'.preg_quote("!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~.",
'/').']{1,64})@(.*)$/', $address, $matches)
But this will become a problem, when mixing like shown above. An
escaped "-" outside of [...] does no harm, but an unescaped "-" inside
does.

The '-' just have special meaning in the regex when used whithin '[ ]',
which are escaped as expected. So, there is no possibility to '-' break
something.
var_dump(preg_quote("[0-2]")); // string(7) "\[0-2\]"

Description:
------------
preg_quote does not escape the "-" (minus) character but it should.
Reproduce code:
---------------
preg_quote("0-9", '/')
Expected result:
----------------
preg_quote("0-9", '/') == "0\-9"
Actual result:
--------------
preg_quote("0-9", '/') == "0-9"
Depending on the used string this can become a dead loss of the used
regular expression because all characters become valid.
