How to link images in mail so iOS 15 can display

For years, I've been constructing emails for my organization using Dreamweaver and using various email clients which accept raw HTML source to send to my distribution list.

This has worked fine until recently. Now, clients running iOS 15 or the latest macOS are unable to display my images regardless of the various privacy settings. Images in emails from other sources display propertly.

I link to images using the standard img ... src=http://... method. I tried https, but that had no effect.

The images are stored on my organization's website, which happens to be hosted by Bluehost. (Note it is NOT a WordPress site.)

Is there something I need to do on my website, etc. (some kind of security certificate?) which will allow iOS to display images?

Were you ever able to solve this? I have been tearing my hair out with the same issue. Image assets linked in emails no longer loading. Only Apple Mail has this issue. Elsewhere, someone suggested it was the SSL certificate but I can't make heads or tails of why that would be the issue- the SSL Labs checker gave it an A+. Perhaps coincidental, but the problem started for us when Bluehost was down for a couple hours 2-3 months ago and it hasn't worked since.

Hi,

I ended up hosting my images on a CDN: https://emailacademy.com/email-image-hosting This solution seems crazy to me, but it's working and it was free.
