Fixed!
The problem is with the line breaks generated inside the text area as
"\n". Not visible but are there and don't pass the validation test.
Solution was to get rid of them and also white spaces by cleaning the
text area input before passing them to the validation function.
I added this:
var emails = $('#emailList').val().split(' ').join(''); // Gets rid
of white spaces
var emails = emails.replace(new RegExp( "\\n", "g" ),''); // Gets rid
of line breaks
