wpcf7_validate_email Hook doesn’t fire

I’m try to implement the below solutions to show custom messages for validation (like email field).

But, the form only shows error messages from “Messages” tab and looks like this hook doesn’t even call the function when I click form submit button:

functions.php

add_filter( ‘wpcf7_validate_email’, ‘custom_email_validation’, 10, 2 );

function custom_email_validation( $result, $tag ) {
$type = $tag->type;
$name = $tag->name;
if($type == ’email’ && $_POST[$name] != ”) {
if(substr($_POST[$name], 0, 1) == ‘.’ ||
!preg_match(‘/^[A-Za-z0-9.]+@(?:[A-Za-z0-9-]+\.){1,2}[A-Za-z]{1,}+$/’, $_POST[$name])) {
$result->invalidate( $tag, wpcf7_get_message($name) );
}
}
if($type == ‘text*’ && $_POST[$name] != ”){
if(!preg_match(‘/^[A-Za-z.]+$/’, $_POST[$name])){
$result->invalidate( $tag, wpcf7_get_message( $name ) );
}
}
return $result;
}

I tried adding console.log(1); to see if it works, and looks like it just not firing on this hook. Any help?
