Usually there's a corporate email address for internal email. Does all godaddy internal email come from godaddy.com? That would be strange.

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)
That’s an excellent point. Yahoo uses yahoo.com for their public email service. Google uses google.com for their internal (employee) email addresses.
Yahoo consequently does not use yahoo.com for internal email addresses. Even before all the merger activity
