How to Create a BIMI Record
-
SVG Logo Image
We need an image of your logo in SVG Format.
-
Upload to your website
Now that you have your logo image, upload it to your site prefferably to the root directory. For example: https://your-domain.com/logo.svg
-
DNS, TEXT Record
We are going to create a BIMI Text DNS Record with the information of your logo.
Go to your DNS Provider and enter the following values to create the BIMI Record.
Replace your-domain.com with your domain and location of your logo.svg.
v
stands for version and l
is an L lowercase and stands for location.
type: TXT
hostname: default._bimi.your-domain.com
value: "v=BIMI1;l=https://your-domain.com/logo.svg"
For this to work you need a DMARC Record with the p
set to quarantine
similar to the following example.
v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:user@your-domain.com; pct=50;"
I will reference HERE how to setup DMARC in the future.
