The average business has no idea how to install a blocker like that.

The military should move to domain that is safer from typosquatting, by controlling a bunch of related TLDs.

Or continue not caring about spying on random unclassified information.

The average business uses G Suite or MS Office, and I'm sure that they could find the right setting if their government contract were dependent on it. That's a heck of a lot easier to pull off than migrating >1.4 million military personnel to a new email address.

Hey, a new job for Clippy! "It looks like you're writing an email to a Mali address. Did you actually want to use a .mil address?". Especially Malians will welcome this feature...

Hah! I was talking about a server-side setting, but this is a pretty funny idea.

That's really understanding companies. If you can get a military contact, you can hire a person who can figure out email filters. It's not the only, or even hardest hoop you'd need to jump through.
