Verification methodology

Evidence sources

Profiles are computed from public DNS, HTTPS-hosted BIMI assets, and parseable mark certificates. Results are time-bound observations, not endorsements.

Labels

“VMC verified” means a current Verified Mark Certificate was detected. “CMC validated” means a Common Mark Certificate was detected. “BIMI published” means a BIMI record exists without equivalent certificate evidence.

Limitations

DNS and mailbox-provider behavior can change after a check. BimiHoster is not a certificate authority, trademark office, or guarantee against abuse.
