   Turned on BIMI icons for $dayjob email! (BIMI builds on top of DMARC and shows users an icon if the mail is verified as coming from this sender.)

     @futzle what I’m hearing is I’m going to need a lot of acronyms.

     (If you want to do this for your email domain, get SPF and DKIM working, then publish a DMARC record on your DNS. Make your icon as an SVG and put it on a web server. Then point to it with a BIMI record in your DNS.)

     @hugh Many, many, acronyms. For the curious (which might not be you):
     SPF (Sender Protection Framework) = proving that a domain you own sent the message.
     DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) = proving that this is the message that your mail server generated.
     DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) = a guide for receivers on how much to trust SPF and DKIM.
     BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) = pretty icons for passing a DMARC test.
     SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) = pictures without jaggies.
     DNS (Domain Name System) = where it will break.
