- OJFord 4y agoI've twice emailed a complaint (once each) to a bank and a credit card issuer that switched to something like this - and without warning too, my suggestion was they should at least email from bank.co.uk to say that thenceforth mail would come from bankmail.com or whatever it was - they're just teaching people to be over-trusting, and they're the last organisations that should be doing it, makes a mockery of the 'we want you to recognise fraud' spiel they all have in the template.
- rozenmd 4y agoit's actually a recommended best practice to not send your marketing/comms emails through your main domain, apparently helps with deliverability
- outsidetheparty 4y agoIt’s in case your marketing domain gets nailed for spamming, you don’t want your regular employees work email blacklisted.
- LukeShu 4y agoIn AT&T's case, it's because @att.com addresses were (are?) given to AT&T residential Internet customers, so they needed a separate domain so it's "clear" if an email is from AT&T itself or from a rando residential AT&T customer.
