var test = jQuery('input[name$="user_email"]').val(); 
  if(test == "@twitter.com"){
     jQuery(".iump-clear").append('<div>Please update your email address</div>');
  }

<input type="text" name="user_email" value="[email protected]">
<div class="iump-clear"></div>

You should check if @twitter.com is contained in input, you can use .indexOf() for that

var test = jQuery('input[name$="user_email"]').val(); 
  if(test.indexOf("@twitter.com")>-1){
     jQuery(".iump-clear").append('<div>Please update your email address</div>');
  }

<input type="text" name="user_email" value="[email protected]">
<div class="iump-clear"></div>

That worked! I wasn't familiar with indexOf(), thanks a lot!

Or using a Regex: /@twitter.com$/i.test(test)
