I want to check if each column value contains a substring of each value in a list, and output "FOUND" if true.

Current Code:
Power Query:
= Table.AddColumn(#"Source", "TEST", each if Text.Contains([Email Domain], RandomList) = true then "Found" else "Invalid")
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
I don't think that Text.Contains will work with a list (but I haven't tested). However you could, per your other question, use List.ContainsAny with a custom comparer function like this:

Power Query:
= Table.AddColumn(Source, "TEST", each if List.ContainsAny({[Email Domain]}, RandomList, (x, y)=>Text.Contains(x, y)) then "Found" else "Invalid")
