Most people forget to escape special characters. You did the opposite and added a slash to the email address. When using single quotes or the q quote-like operator, \ is not an escape character unless followed by the string literal terminator (single quote) or another \. That's not the case here. 'email\@address' should be 'email@address' or "email\@address".
