I think you missed the point.
Say we both work for some company X, and we use a server that is within the firewall and called foo.local
I am at home, and the e-mail I read at home is a@isp and not a@corporate.
You want to send me an urgent message to log onto the company VPN and check out something on foo.local, but I have to send it to a@isp.
The @isp mail server can't resolve foo.local and will therefore drop the message, meaning I will never get your message.
There are times when you want to send e-mail about internal domains to e-mail addresses residing outside of the domain, where the MX server at the end of the line cannot resolve the internal domain, but the person reading the e-mail can (through access to the internal servers).
