Summary: The DANE domain count is now 3,005,393 (up from 2,974,861 last month).
The number of domains that return DNSSEC-validated replies in
response to MX queries is 16,982,372 (up from 16,638,332 last
month). Thus DANE TLSA is deployed on ~17.69% of domains with
DNSSEC. See https://stats.dnssec-tools.org/ for more stats.
[ See the Credits[0] list below my signature. ]
As of today I count ~3.0 million domains with correct SMTP DANE TLSA records
at every primary MX host that accepts connections[1]. As expected, the bulk of
the DANE domains are hosted by the DNS/email hosting providers who've enabled
DANE support for the customer domains they host. The top 20 MX host providers
by domain count are below.

The real numbers are surely larger, because I don't have access to the
full zone data for most ccTLDs, especially .no/.cz/.de/.eu/.be.
Speaking of countries, the IPv4 GeoIP distribution of DANE-enabled MX
hosts shows the below top 20 countries (each unique IP address is
counted, so multi-homed MX hosts are perhaps somewhat over-represented).

There are 7,451 unique zones (7,410 last month) in which the underlying
MX hosts are found. This counts each of the above providers as just one
zone, so is a measure of the breadth of adoption in terms of
organizations deploying DANE SMTP.
The number of published MX host TLSA RRsets found is 16,295 (16,101 last
month). These cover 16,562 distinct MX hosts (16,358 last month, some
MX hosts share the same TLSA records through CNAMEs).
The number of DANE domains that at some point were listed in Gmail's
email transparency report is 557 (this is my ad-hoc criterion for a
domain being a large-enough actively used email domain). Of these, 331
are in recent (last 90 days of) reports (see [2] below my signature).
Of the ~3.0 million DANE domains, 12,750 (12,735 last month) have
"partial" TLSA records, that cover only a subset of the (secondary) MX
hosts. While this protects traffic to some of the MX hosts, such
domains are still vulnerable to the usual active attacks via the
remaining MX hosts.
The number of domains with incorrect TLSA records or failure to offer
STARTTLS (even though TLSA records are published) stands today at 1086
(1802 last month). Some of these have additional MX hosts that don't
have broken TLSA records, so mail can still arrive via the remaining MX
hosts. The affected domain counts for the top 10 problem MX hosts are:
90 beta.itcomputers.eu
44 fsn1-c04.xemo-net.de
19 mx1.mdbraber.com
16 mail.odissee.net
16 e-vps.hacktheplanet.nl
15 web1.ams.dcg.t-host.net
15 artemis.strebsjig.net
13 entrante.svnt.com
12 mail.bi9.de
8 postmark.flame.org
To avoid email outages, please make sure to monitor the validity of your
own TLSA records, and implement a reliable key rotation procedure. See:

After eliminating parked domains that do not accept email, the number of
"real" email domains with bad DNSSEC support stands at 1181 (1148 last
month). The top 10 name server operators with problem domains are:

If anyone has good contacts at some of these providers, please encourage
them to remediate not only the broken domains (I can send them a list),
but also the root cause that makes the breakage possible.
Six of the domains all whose nameservers have broken denial of
existence appear in the last 120 days of Google transparency reports:

[0] Credits: The coverage of DNSSEC domains continues to improve with
ongoing data support from Paul Vixie of Farsight Security. Credits also
due to ICANN for gTLD data via CZDS, and to the TLD registries for .CH,
.COM, .DK, .FR, .INFO, .IS, .LI, .NL, .NU, .ORG and .SE. More data
sources of ccTLD signed delegations welcome.
[1] Some domains deliberately include MX hosts that are always down,
presumably as a hurdle to botnet SMTP code that gives up where real MTAs
might persist. I am not a fan of this type of defence (it can also
impose undue latency on legitimate email). However, provided the dead
hosts still have TLSA records, (which don't need to match anything, just
need to exist and be well-formed) there's no loss of security.
