Hello, I’m Allie!OP•2/4/24, 5:23 PM

I would assume so:

dave•2/4/24, 5:23 PM

does the 5ms count when you're awaiting on a fetch?

dave•2/4/24, 5:23 PM

if not, 5ms doesn't seem that bad.

Ddave does the 5ms count when you're awaiting on a fetch?

Hello, I’m Allie!OP•2/4/24, 5:24 PM

Afaik it is CPU time, though the docs are a little ambiguous

dave•2/4/24, 5:24 PM

Our catch-all email Worker takes ~6.6ms on average of CPU time and it could be optimized if we felt like it.

Hello, I’m Allie!OP•2/4/24, 5:25 PM

But yeah, you can't actually handle any events other than a

fetch

fetch

event in a Snippet, so it wouldn't matter.

Or, that is to say, you can't yet

Ddave wait is me using `email` some special allowed edge case that I guessed...?

DarkDeviL•2/4/24, 5:42 PM

Actually, - my understanding of it comes from before subdomains were supported in the Dashboard, where my understanding was, ... that it was a "hacky workaround" that you shouldn't rely on, because it wasn't officially supported.

DarkDeviL•2/4/24, 5:43 PM

If the Dashboard doesn't allow you to add ".email.email" as a sub-domain, I would personally still not consider it to be officially supported.

DDarkDeviL If the Dashboard doesn't allow you to add "`.email`" as a sub-domain, I would **...

dave•2/4/24, 5:44 PM

it makes sense it works to hit the default catch-all Worker

dave•2/4/24, 5:44 PM

I agree I wouldn't depend on it for setting subdomain routing rules

dave•2/4/24, 5:44 PM

but I think the catch-all case is reliable

Ddave but I think the catch-all case is reliable

DarkDeviL•2/4/24, 5:48 PM

My point is simply that I wouldn't suggest relying or depending on something that isn't officially supported, no matter how well / reliable it appears to be working.

DarkDeviL•2/4/24, 5:49 PM

And especially not if we're talking about it for mission critical things.

Chaika•2/7/24, 4:23 AM

Gmail. You can't send mail via Cloudflare except via Workers to your verified addresses or in reply to messages via email worker

Chaika•2/7/24, 4:23 AM

also iirc gmail like that always fails spf because the way it sends/alignment, been a while though

TTraffy How would you suggest to use cloudflare to receive and send email?

Chaika•2/7/24, 5:00 AM

Sadly, you don't. CF can't send mail like a normal email provider/solution. Sounds like you want a more traditional email setup like Fastmail, Google Workspace, ProtonMail that works with Custom Domains and can send and receive.

chientrm.com•2/7/24, 5:29 PM

Uhm, I took some debug. It was my Pages CPU timeout when invoking bounded my email Workers

chientrm.com•2/7/24, 5:30 PM

I took some work around and now it sends email nicely again

Unsmart•2/7/24, 5:30 PM

That will do it too :LUL:

UUnsmart That will do it too :LUL:

chientrm.com•2/7/24, 5:31 PM

it's weird, they're just

fetch

fetch

from my Pages to bounded Mail Workers and from the Workerse to Mailchannels.
There was no heavy computation

chientrm.com•2/7/24, 5:32 PM

But when the request from my Pages -> Proxy express.js server -> Mail workers, it works fine again, no CancelledCancelled

chientrm.com•2/7/24, 6:05 PM

oh, just invoke via https url is fine, no timeout

KNOX•2/7/24, 8:29 PM

How do i set up a worker so that when a specific email address receives an email it gets sent to my server via an http post request?

Adi•2/8/24, 12:44 AM

Hey all, I'm sure this is a noob question, but is it possible / is there a walkthrough on how to send outbound emails via cloudflare?
I have email routing setup, but now I want to send emails out via that domain. Specifically looking for a low cost / free way of doing so.

Adi•2/8/24, 1:06 AM

I retract my question. For anyone else, this guide worked amazingly well - https://jay.gooby.org/2022/05/06/use-a-basic-gmail-account-to-send-mail-as-with-a-domain-that-uses-cloudflare-email-routing

DarkDeviL•2/8/24, 2:03 AM

"Amazingly well"?

I strongly suggest that you look at:

email-routing

https://community.cloudflare.com/t/reply-from-a-custom-address-email/455857/7

Adi•2/8/24, 2:05 AM

Yes you're right. It's not a perfect solution, and I definitely noticed the "sent via gmai" mark that never leaves. But I suppose this is as far as it can go with the way email routing works right?

DarkDeviL•2/8/24, 2:05 AM

And then remove the "a mx include:_spf.google.coma mx include:_spf.google.com" part from your SPF.

aa: Cloudflare HTTP Reverse Proxies will never send on your domain's behalf.

mxmx: Is pointing to Cloudflare's INBOUND mail servers, they do NOT send OUTBOUND and should not be listed in your SPF.

include:_spf.google.cominclude:_spf.google.com: The "trick" will always authenticate as the @gmail.com@gmail.com, and expose the real Gmail address. Since the SPF is done on gmail.comgmail.com, you're overauthorizing by having include:_spf.google.cominclude:_spf.google.com, which - depending on the eyes looking at it, is a security issue / risk.

DDarkDeviL And then remove the "`a mx include:_spf.google.com`" part from your SPF. `a`: C...

DarkDeviL•2/8/24, 2:08 AM

That "send via gmail" is due to the authentication marks being done on @gmail.com@gmail.com, getting it away would require a proper email service, that would authenticate using your own domain.

DarkDeviL•2/8/24, 2:09 AM

None of the free hacky workarounds such as this would do so (... 100%).

DDarkDeviL That "send via gmail" is due to the authentication marks being done on `@gmail.c...

Adi•2/8/24, 2:09 AM

Makes sense, so there's basically no alternative to actually purchasing or setting up an actual email service.

DarkDeviL•2/8/24, 2:09 AM

In fact, even some paid ones may not even allow you get such things completely away.

DarkDeviL•2/8/24, 2:10 AM

And nope, the stuff i mention in e.g. the Discord link above - about missing alignment

DarkDeviL•2/8/24, 2:11 AM

1&1/GMX/Web.deWeb.de and others announced three (or four?) years ago I believe, regarding "no-alignment = slow entry"

DarkDeviL•2/8/24, 2:11 AM

Google ramped up their requirements in Oct or Nov 2022

DarkDeviL•2/8/24, 2:11 AM

And lately, both Google and Yahoo ramped them up here per February 2024.

DarkDeviL•2/8/24, 2:12 AM

You aren't able to satisfy the latest February 2024 requirements with a hacky workaround set up like this.

DarkDeviL•2/8/24, 2:13 AM

Although it appears Google and Yahoo claims it is affecting senders with 5.000 or more messages, ... the mystery remains: What exactly are they counting the 5.000 messages on?

DarkDeviL•2/8/24, 2:14 AM

Google's mail servers itself send quite a bit more than 5.000 messages per day, so Google might only need 5.000 different users, sending one message per day, to hit you negatively...
