You're only allowing hyphens in the first part of the address after the @
symbol, though, before the first period. Maybe your regex should be:
@([a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z.]
Just noticed that your period is not escaped, either, so you're actually
matching any character with the one that's outside of the [ and ] character
classes.
