Using regular expressions is probably the best way.

function validateEmail(email) { 
    var re = /@gmail.com$/;
    return re.test(email);
}

Regular expressions are versatile one you can make custom changes as per requirements

You can use indexOf javascript method, or use regular expression:

var mail = "[email protected]";
var domain = "foo";
if(mail.indexOf(domain) > -1) {
  console.log("domain valid");
} else {
  console.log("domain not valid");
}

So you can have your custom function:

/* global domain array */
var domains = new Array("gmail.com", "outlook.com", ...);

var checkDomain(mail) {
   for(var i = 0; i != domains.length; ++i) {
      if(mail.indexOf(domains[i]) > -1) {
         return true;
      }
   }
   return false;
}
