validates_format_of :email,
:with=>/^[0-9a-za-z_][\w\.-]*[a-za-z0-...@[a-za-z0-9][\w\.-]*[a-za-
Z0-9]\.[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z\.]*[a-zA-Z]$/,
:message => "is not valid",
:unless => Proc.new { |your_model_name_or_any_variable_name_you_want|
your_model_name_or_any_variable_name_you_want.email.blank?}
So, supposing your model is a User:
validates_format_of :email,
:with=>/^[0-9a-za-z_][\w\.-]*[a-za-z0-...@[a-za-z0-9][\w\.-]*[a-za-
Z0-9]\.[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z\.]*[a-zA-Z]$/,
:message => "is not valid",
:unless => Proc.new {|user| user.email.blank?}
