Description
I tried to invite EFilatova@CityTech.Cuny.Edu to the commons via http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members/khatchad/invite-anyone/ but received this error:
Some of your invitations were not sent. Please see the errors below and resubmit the failed invitations.
EFilatova@CityTech.Cuny.Edu is not a permitted email address. Please make sure that you have typed the domain name correctly.
These are the instructions of the form:
Enter email addresses below, one per line.
You can only invite people whose email addresses end in one of the following domains: cuny.tv cuny.edu
It would seem that this is a valid email address.
P.S. There may be a case issue here but note: (1) email addresses are not case sensitive and (2) EFilatova@CityTech.Cuny.Edu is in a format typically found in the global address book at City Tech.

Thanks for the report, Raffi. You're correct that it's a case-sensitivity issue.
Strictly speaking, the username portion of an email address is case sensitive, while the domain name and TLD are not. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9807909/are-email-addresses-case-sensitive.
I've adjusted the logic in Invite Anyone at https://github.com/boonebgorges/invite-anyone/commit/00f9e63ba3d5754d187ffc9825971196d61ca793. I'll release a new version of Invite Anyone, and it'll be included in the next Commons release on the 21st.

Thanks, Boone. Yes, sorry, that's what I meant (that the TLD was case-insensitive). Thanks for the quick response.
