IPv6 cannot be backward-compatible with IPv4 in the way UTF-8 is with ASCII. Any argument built on that comparison reflects a misunderstanding of the protocols and leads to flawed conclusions.

But this is against the "One click unsubscribe" policy that many mail provider have implemented, so they risk being labeled SPAM anyway.

>Thanks for the information. So, if I get it right, the blue checkmark is simply a way to say that Google performed adequate checks? Why not simply display the logo only for BIMI-certified emails, and drop the checkmark?

Yeah the checkmark is a Google idea, the BIMI standard is only about verifying the logo.

> Another issue, is that logos are much more volatile than domain names, and I don't see a good way to prevent scammers to bimi-register visually confusing logos. So I don't think it's a good idea to emphasize logos to users as a mark of trust in emails.

Well in theory the CA will manually verify that the logo submitted by the company is visually matching a registered trademark by the same company. That's the reason why a VMC certificate is so expensive. But let's see how it goes about that.

Under the BIMI scheme you don't pay Google, but a Certification Authority (only Digicert and Entrust for now) to get a certificate for your company logo, so that Google and other mail providers will display your company logo.

There is this tool from Facebook.

"Certificate Transparencyis an open framework which helps log, audit and monitor publicly-trusted TLS certificates on the Internet. This tool lets you search for certificates issued for a given domain and subscribe to notifications from Facebook regarding new certificates and potential phishing attacks."
