Such users can only be created with an email address from a verified domain of the account.

Users assignment to a domain account¶
As soon as you’ve added, verified and activated a domain you can create and manage users with it.
Users registered before a domain activation will be automatically assigned to the domain account after the domain activation. They will not lose any previosly owned permissions to other accounts and mailboxes.
Users registered after a domains activation will be automatically assigned to the domain account immediately.
