I have a group and want to automatically add users via email address domain name, using the field:

> Users who register with an email domain that exactly matches one in this list will be automatically added to this group:

I type _source.institute_, and hit the save button.

It gets rejected with a modal popup, saying:

> ‘source.institute’ is not a valid domain.

Thanks for your help!

First I’ve ever seen a TLD like that.

You’re saying a link like this would work?  
`<a href="http://source.institute/index.html">Home</a>`  
or that an email address would look like this?  
`somebody@source.institute`

Sure, try [source.institute](http://source.institute) or see discourse running at community.source.institute

There are a bunch of[new TLDs](https://www.namecheap.com/domains/new-tlds/explore.aspx) coming in all the time.
