What's keeping cdc.gov from an A

Mail servers without IPv6
primary.us.etp.fireeyegov.com, alt1.us.etp.fireeyegov.com, alt2.us.etp.fireeyegov.com, alt3.us.etp.fireeyegov.com have no AAAA record, so mail from IPv6-only servers can't reach them directly. If a provider runs your mail, that's their setting; if you run it, add AAAA records for these hosts.
