For example by grouping customers on subdomain instead of inbox+acc_1@domain.com

Hi everyone, I have a hosting with Hostinger and I want to use cloudflare for email routing, I want to get the emails sent to my domain to get send to my personal address.
I got this working but in order to send emails I need to use hostinger mail system with cloudflare, I also did that but I noticed that the emails sent from my "contact us" form get rejected and not allowed to pass and I can't solve this.
My website is buily with Wordpress on Hostinger hosting

Hi, we are using email routes to workers script in production. Is it possible to get notifications or list via API of all received emails that get status Error?

@StefanH Set up email routing to either forward to your gmail.com address or feed them into the worker and that puts them into R2 for further processing.

There is no SMTP transport anyway. But its easy to script getting emails from R2 and feeding into MTA.

I followed this docs, for purpose of auto reply email:

https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-routing/email-workers/reply-email-workers/

but when an user send email from mail-client app (like using @gmail from outlook), message-id is replaced by a new one.

then would cause exception throw, "Message-ID" mismatch "In-Reply-To", in call

await message.reply(replyMessage)

await message.reply(replyMessage)

I apologize if this is a question with an obvious answer.

I have Google Workspace on my domain which uses Cloudflare for DNS. Let's call this domain1.tld.

Can I use Cloudflare email-routing to send create specialaddress@domain1.tld and route it to mainaccount@domain1.tld on Google Workspace?

Or, in this instance would I need to route specialaddress@domain2.tld (MX record pointed at Cloudflare) to mainaccount@domain1.tld (MX record pointed at Google)?

Got it. So If I want to route email for domain1.tld on Workspace, I should just use Workspace for that

Yeah Cloudflare doesn't offer an SMTP server you can send out through.
Can send to verified addresses via workers and reply once via email workers on received mail, but nothing like a full email solution, it's a forwarder

Curious if the scenario of using cf email routing only on a subdomain is meant to be supported? ie keep your original mx for the root zone, and use cf only for the subdomain. I would have thought this would be one of the main use cases for subdomains. It works in some ways (incoming email is received), but two major blockers I stumbled into:

1.

.reply(

.reply(

does not work, you get a

mail from is not from the correct domain

mail from is not from the correct domain

, even though it is
2. sending emails via the worker binding is blocked by gmail servers with

This mail has been blocked because the sender is unauthenticated

This mail has been blocked because the sender is unauthenticated

, the error includes an SPF lookup of the root zone (?), not the subdomain. For more lenient gmail domains, like business domains, the email goes through, but received with a big red warning question mark in the contact photo
