What the BIMI checker checks
BIMI shows your logo next to your emails. The checker reads the record at default._bimi and checks what mailboxes require:
- Record:
v=BIMI1; l=https://…/logo.svg; a=https://…/certificate.pem. Thelpoints to the logo, theato the certificate. - Logo: an SVG file (SVG Tiny PS) under 32 KB, without scripts and embedded images, available via https.
- DMARC: BIMI shows the logo only with
p=quarantineorp=rejectfor all emails. - Certificate: Many mailboxes, including Gmail, require a VMC or CMC. We only check whether an address is given, not the certificate itself.
Whether a mailbox finally shows the logo is up to each mailbox. Check DMARC
