Rails:Email validation in model

Question

I am importing excel sheet containing(name,date of birth,email) and validating email in model with the below code

validates_format_of :email, :with => /^[a-z0-9_\+-]+(\.[a-z0-9_\+-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*\.([a-z]{2,4})$/, :message => "Invalid email ID"

Now I have to show people having invalid email format.Is it possible to validate with this or any another way....

Thanks in advance
