 I have been adding users to my client's site with no issues, until I got
 to a user with a .edu email address. I add the user details as normal.
 Click the Add New User button and get the message "New user created". No
 error message at all. But the user has not been created. I tried 3 times,
 same result. I have turned off all plugins and changed to the wordpress
 default theme (2015). Same issue.

 What I expect to happen: When I add a user I expect them to be added to
 the Users list.

 What happens: when I add a user with a .edu email address, there is no
 error message, I get message "New user created", but the user is not in
 the user's list. These users should also appear in the Author drop down in
 posts (because they are added with Author role), but the new user does not
 appear in the Author dropdown eiither.

 Using Firefox 42.0 on Mac OS X Yosemite.
 Same issue happens with Safari 9.0.1 on Mac OS X Yosemite.
