You might have just noticed this: as of mid-July 2021, there's no longer any MX record for the us.army.mil email domain. There's no A record, either, so any attempts to mail users at this domain will now bounce.

- Extensive expertise (6+ years) including authentication standards (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), IP and domain reputation factors that affect delivery, root cause analysis, spam filtering methodology.

DuckDuckGo launches new tracker-blocking duck.com email domain
Click here to read more about it over on The Verge.
Time will tell how big the duck.com email subscriber base will grow. My honest guess is that it won't grow very big at all. New addresses, new domain, manual signup, though all very easy to utilize, anything that takes additional steps adds barriers that could potentially inhibit quick, broad adoption. I suspect that what Apple is doing is going to take a far bigger bite out of marketer tracking than what DuckDuckGo is doing here.

Beware the link shorteners -- or at least, be aware of the risks
There's chatter in various forums suggesting that Gmail is blocking or filtering or spam foldering email messages that contain references to the Bitly URL shortener's primary domain. My own very non-scientific testing suggested that references to the Bitly shortener could make an email message go to the spam folder, but I also saw reasonably compelling evidence that it was causing blocking or deferrals in some cases.
When is a deliverability issue not a deliverability issue?
If you can't deliver mail to Yahoo or Gmail, or to mailboxes hosted behind Proofpoint or Mimecast, you've got a deliverability issue.
But if you can't deliver mail to yourself, you've probably got a whitelisting (allow listing) issue, and not a deliverability issue.
