It may be good idea to skip the testing of domains on .com or any other tld which are hosted on google / Microsoft / XgenPlus / Coremail for MX. That does not give us correct picture of large setups.

> If I read it correctly, I am surprised at that more than 10 percent of COM domain names are eai ready now. It is a very big number.
I redid the checks to be sure. I sampled 3655 mail servers that handle 10372 domains in .com. Of those, 200 servers handling 1417 domains announced SMTPUTF8, so it`s 5.5% of the servers or 13.7% of the domains.
That`s because both gmail and outlook.com handle a lot of domains on relatively few IPs.
