Try this...

function emailValidate ($str) {
    $reg = "^([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+)@([a-zA-Z0-9-])+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)+$";
    if (eregi($reg, $str)) {
        return true;
    }else{
        return false;
    }
}

$addy = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
if (emailValidate($addy)) {
    echo "valid";
}else{
    echo "Not Valid!";
}
