Description
Initially reported at EFForg/starttls-everywhere#146:
> When I'm trying to submit my domain with an MTA STS policy at https://starttls-everywhere.org/add-domain/ I get the following error:
>
> "Domain does not correctly implement MTA-STS."
>
> The error comes from an API endpoint at https://starttls-everywhere.org/api/queue
>
> I am not aware that anything is wrong with my MTA-STS setup. I also would strongly suggest to provide more meaningful error messages.

Research direction
Start at the /api/queue endpoint described in the report and reproduce submissions for domains with MTA-STS policies. Trace how the checker produces “Domain does not correctly implement MTA-STS” and compare intermittent failures with successful requests. Done means the failure cause is identified and the resulting error behavior is meaningfully explained or corrected.
