2 years ago So on further investigation, it looks like this has historically been a nightmare to setup, with every email client having its own method of showing brand logos. However, there's a new standard called BIMI backed by some of the big boys (Google, Yahoo, Fastmail, Mailchimp, Twilio) that seems to be standardizing all of this. Basically, in addition to the DNS records already required by Sendinblue for email signing (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), we would also need to add a BIMI record, which contains the URL of the desired logo. A supporting "mailbox provider (MBP)" would first check those authentication records, and if they pass, it would then download the logo from the URL in the BIMI record. So let's do that!
- Here's the BIMI implementation guide
- Here's a little tool called BIMI Inspector that will let us verify everything is configured correctly
Not sure how to do this, but other organizations clearly have some way of associating an icon with their email addresses (at least for Gmail), so I'm sure Sendinblue supports this too. Hopefully on the free tier...
