I'm no expert, but you might want to look at the "bounce" message that
your friends got when trying to send to you. Since my message to you did
not bounce, your address at Juno is still good, and there is no filter
preventing your reception. Why email is occasionally not delivered seems
to me a different question. The reply text sent your friends who could
not email you might tell the tale. Sometimes I have had a message that my
email could not be sent but would be retried for 72 hours or whatever. If
the text says "does not exist" find out what does not exist -- it could
be juno.com or outtolaunch@xxxxxxxx or something else entirely. For
example, if it is "jumo.com" you know your friend mispelled your address
and there is no jumo out there. For all I know, there could be occasional
glitches in the Juno email system, though I have not been able to prove
any in about three years.
Email is generally not considered suitable for mission critical
communication, because glitches happen. You [or those who write you] can
increase reliability by asking for a return so they will know you
received the message, even if you do not have time to compose a proper
answer.
