BIMI Configured
What we check
We query DNS for a TXT record at default._bimi.<domain>, then verify the l= logo URL is reachable and a valid SVG. BIMI displays your brand logo next to authenticated mail in supporting clients. This finding means the record is present and its logo checks out.
What this finding means
The domain publishes a valid BIMI record with a reachable SVG logo. This is the healthy configured state: supporting inboxes can retrieve your logo and display it beside authenticated mail from your domain.
Whether the logo actually appears at a given provider still depends on that provider's policy — Gmail, Apple Mail, and Yahoo generally require a valid VMC or CMC certificate (referenced by the a= tag) before showing it. A record without a certificate is valid but has limited display support.
How it's graded
A valid BIMI configuration is a pass and earns the BIMI bonus in the optional Bonus category. See Grading Methodology for the full scoring model.
