The email in my company all comes from @<company-name>.com. Why would a company keep a separate domain for internal vs external email? Is that common practice?



It's rare but not unknown - for example Facebook employees' e-mails are whatever@fb.com rather than whatever@facebook.com and sometimes facebook send e-mails from whatever@facebookmail.com ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Facebook's case is likely because they launched a public email service back in 2010.


It's not internal vs external, it's employee vs users (e.g., @google.com vs @gmail.com)
