Shouldn't an MTA-STS validator do *exactly* what RFC8461, section 4.1 says:
That's not how standards work. If you follow the standard, you should be
able to interoperate with other people that follow it. If you don't, the
results are unpredictable. We don't try to anticipate every possible
mistake both because it is a waste of time and because it is impossible.
I suppose it would be nice if Microsoft sent a better error message but
that's not a bug I can get very excited about.
You know that pointing your MX at a CNAME is a mistake, so it'll fail at
random. It's a somewhat common mistake, but it's still a mistake. If it
were me, I would fix it and move on.
