BIMI

BIMI stands for Brand Indicators for Message Identification.  BiMi is a solution for having greater control over having your logo appear in the inbox beside your message header. It helps distinguish you in the inbox from fraudulent emailers and works across multiple mailboxes that use BiMi.  It is currently in OATH domains only (Yahoo, AOL, Verizon) but is growing in popularity. Gmail just announced that it will be participating in a BIMI pilot, so it is gaining.   For your logo to appear, you must have all three forms of authentication working (SPF, DKIM and DMARC).  And DMARC has to be set to P=Quarantine or P=reject To find out more about BiMI, click here.

I'm curious to know what are the sources of information you adopt in your "content daily diet".

Good question.  Oracle has a quarterly blog which is very good. 

I also follow a linked in group and if you hashtag #deliverability that will give you some good info.   Plus 250ok is a company that has a good blog, as well as wordtothewise.com
