Summary: The DANE domain count is now 3,172,531 (c.f. 3,171,233 last
month).
The number of domains that return DNSSEC-validated replies in
response to MX queries is 18,166,397 (up from 17,945,028 last
month). Thus DANE TLSA is deployed on ~17.46% of domains with
DNSSEC. For more stats, see <https://stats.dnssec-tools.org/>.
[ See the Credits[0] list below my signature. ]
Milestones:
- Over 18 million DNSSEC-signed zones
- .ORG over 4% signed
- .COM over 3% signed
- Over 8,000 DANE MX host zones
As of today I count ~3.17 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 8,039 unique zones (7,895 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 17,131 (16,959 last
month). These cover 17,403 distinct MX hosts (17,222 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 607 (this is my ad-hoc criterion for a
domain being a large-enough actively used email domain). Of these, 346
are in recent (last 90 days of) reports (see [2] below my signature).
Of the ~3.17 million DANE domains, 12,731 (12,742 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 1102
(1136 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:
86 beta.itcomputers.eu
65 arachne.itcomputers.cz
29 mx.2u2.nu
20 mail.itcomputers.net
19 mx1.mdbraber.com
16 e-vps.hacktheplanet.nl
15 artemis.strebsjig.net
14 web1.ams.dcg.t-host.net
13 dolifarm2.cap-networks.com
10 mx01.mykolab.com
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, .FI, .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.
