Users with email from @company.invalid should start with a higher trust level than other users. Is this easy to do?

You can do that via a group.

1. Create a new group
2. Add `company.invalid` to “ **Users who register with an email domain that exactly matches one in this list will be automatically added to this group** ”
3. Change the “ **Trust level automatically granted to members when they’re added** ” to the desired trust level
