but I just tested it, and it's untrue, weird

OOversleep7682 Hi, can anyone please help me figure out which permissions I need for the email ...

ChaikaOP•11/10/23, 4:26 PM

Zone => Zone Settings => Read

OOversleep7682 Thanks, do the docs mention permissions required for each endpoint ? I didn't se...

ChaikaOP•11/10/23, 4:27 PM

The old api docs used to

ChaikaOP•11/10/23, 4:30 PM

Yea for sure. Some aren't too hard to guess though, if there's no specific permission for it (like "Email Routing" exact), then I would assume it would fall under generic Zone Settings, not a great experience though

hey, i'm not that good with all these settings. i can send emails using thunderbird but i cant receive any. if i try to send a mail it says the mail cannot be found or cannot receive emails at the moment. i dont know how to fix this, please help

Hello, I’m Allie!•11/13/23, 8:20 AM

Email Routing doesn't allow you to send Emails(via SMTP), only receive them, if that is what you mean.

Selfieh•11/13/23, 8:20 AM

yeah, sending is not a problem at all. i just cant receive them.

SSelfieh yeah, sending is not a problem at all. i just cant receive them.

Hello, I’m Allie!•11/13/23, 8:21 AM

Just to make sure, are you logged in to your third-party email provider?

Selfieh•11/13/23, 8:22 AM

yes i am.

SSelfieh yes i am.

Hello, I’m Allie!•11/13/23, 8:22 AM

Do the emails appear in your WebMail?

Selfieh•11/13/23, 8:23 AM

i dont have webmail sadly. i have a domain that came with an email.

Selfieh•11/13/23, 8:24 AM

thats why i use thunderbird

Selfieh•11/13/23, 8:26 AM

i was receiving emails, but could not send them due to my DNS settings. i changed them and now i can send but cannot receive any.

Danny•11/13/23, 6:48 PM

Hi everyone! I'm trying to use the Brevo API to send an email when someone sends me one. I'm attempting to use their api, but when i do i get the error " Uncaught TypeError: superagent.agent is not a constructor"

Danny•11/13/23, 6:48 PM

I'll try just a normal fetch, but just reporting this here

Uuwinx why so strict? <:hmm:883740792382959626>

itsmatteomanf•11/14/23, 8:57 PM

Because those are the e-mail standard requirements...

Yeah that doesn't make sense. Unless Cloudflare is explicitly stopping it, that shouldn't be a thing..?

kian•11/15/23, 3:16 PM

I would have thought a wildcard MX record would do that - I just doubt Cloudflare would let you set it up with Email Routing

kian•11/15/23, 3:16 PM

Wildcards are weird, and don't really work in the way most people expect them to.

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:16 PM

not too stupid lol, I do the same thing, but just use wildcard MX. Just have to be careful

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:17 PM

Yea rn it just doesn't let you create a wildcard subdomain

Original message was deleted

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:33 PM

Why?

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:33 PM

The way it is right now your catch-all affects all subdomains

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:33 PM

If they just let you add a wildcard subdomain, it would just work

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:33 PM

People in the past have hacked around that and manually created stuff and got it working, it's just not supported or recommended

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:35 PM

yea, just have to be a bit careful about that

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:35 PM

I use myname@companyname.mysite.com, which is almost always going to be fine/not conflict with anything

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:35 PM

well that's part of the DNS Specification

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:36 PM

it wouldn't break anything, your MX just wouldn't be served

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:36 PM

eeh I think it's something to keep in mind but not really of worry

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:37 PM

I use companyname as the subdomain for email like I said in my example, so I'd probably never hit anything

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:37 PM

You could also just buy an entire domain just to use for email

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:37 PM

and you often add subdomains that would conflict with the email subdomains you would use?

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:38 PM

I mean it really depends on how you are using them

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:39 PM

but yea, wildcards in general can be tricky

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:40 PM

depending on what you're doing, you might also get hit by the fact a subdomain existing stops the recursion entirely

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:40 PM

i.e

MX
cookies CNAME
free.cookies -> wouldn't have the MX, having the cookies label stops the wildcard from recursing any further

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:41 PM

Alternatively you could also use that to your advantage and do something like *.e.example.com MX*.e.example.com MX and then use subdomains of it to send mail to, unlikely you'd ever accidentally create a record and block it there

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:42 PM

lol yea I have a domain I have a wildcard http route for and just add exceptions for each subdomain I want to use

ChaikaOP•11/15/23, 3:42 PM

a pain though

Uuwinx yep, bad example. I've used that as an expression – 😣 to get the "pattern" in t...

DarkDeviL•11/15/23, 3:45 PM

This somehow reminds me of once when I renewed a domain name, the money were charged and everything, ... but still, the domain went away, as if it had never been renewed...

The renewal didn't go through from the registrar to the registry, due to special characters in the one of the contact emails (registrant, admin, tech, billing), that made the registry see it as an invalid mail and refuse actions on the domain name.

The registrar then (initially) wanted me to pay a hefty restoration / redemption fee to "fix" it and return the domain to my account...

But easily solvable: For any records that you have, that already exist, simply create the corresponding MX records again:

Since

www.ryder.example. AAAA 100::

www.ryder.example. AAAA 100::

is not going to be inheriting the MX for www and below, you just add them "again" like this, to "fix" it:

www.ryder.example. MX mail.ryder.example.
*.www.ryder.example. MX mail.ryder.example.

www.ryder.example. MX mail.ryder.example.
*.www.ryder.example. MX mail.ryder.example.

Final result:

*.ryder.example. MX mail.ryder.example.
www.ryder.example. AAAA 100::
www.ryder.example. MX mail.ryder.example.
*.www.ryder.example. MX mail.ryder.example.

*.ryder.example. MX mail.ryder.example.
www.ryder.example. AAAA 100::
www.ryder.example. MX mail.ryder.example.
*.www.ryder.example. MX mail.ryder.example.
