Yes, as CNAMEs, exactly as you were showing them above.

Then from the former, you need to remove "v=DKIM1; " from the content though.

Hi! Is anyone here encountering mail delivery issues from Cloudflare Email Routing? I found that emails sending to my domain are not being forwarded to configured destinations and do not even appear in the Cloudflare dashboard.

Thought I'd pop my head back in again to throw my raised hand amongst some others indicating the issue re: email routing starting again. Mine's forwarding to Outlook addresses, but I assume others will be affected too considering it's a spamhaus blocklist again. Seems to have started around 5hrs ago,

I know this is a free service, but it's a pretty big one for it not to work.

Hate to complain about a free service but I am relying on this for some important emails.

Email Forwarding/routing can be ok, but I would really recommend not relying on forwarding for anything critical. It's just not a smart idea, this isn't CF Email Routing specific but in general any forwarding service will have issues, and has had occasional issues for a while:
https://community.cloudflare.com/t/gmail-blocking-emails-routed-from-cloudflare/468070/2?u=chaika
https://community.cloudflare.com/t/email-routing-to-gmail-blocked-as-spam/422232
Get a proper email host like Fastmail or Google Workspace or ProtonMail if it's important at all. Those would even let you reply from your custom inbox.

Chaika

C

Chaika•4/11/24, 8:36 PM

(or alternatively get a receiving inbox of which you have full and complete control over the inbound filters so you can whitelist all the forwarded mail)

I completely understand that email forwarding services can be temperamental, but at the time I had assumed this would be as reliable as Cloudflare's other services. These emails are not critically important, but as with all emails, I'd quite like to be able to read them.

I am just a little concerned that this is a repeating problem and there hasn't been a massive amount of communication towards a solution. I would imagine that everyone using this service, regardless of the importance of their emails, are using it to consistently forward emails. I completely understand that this isn't directly Cloudflare's fault here, but I'm just a bit confused as to if I should be staying with this product if it is struggling to fullfil its core objectives and is showing little sign of improvement.

Sorry if this came off as ungrateful. I appreciate the hard work that goes into creating this product

A question about email routing... Does it only redirect emails received at mymail@mydomain.com to alissonacioli@gmail.com or would there be some way, for example, for me to also respond, have an inbox, etc.. Or Is there any alternative to use with cloudflare email? Could someone explain it to me.

You're all good. At least for me personally, I have a few emails each day going to gmail and they've been fine, not sure why gmail is upset at your forwarding, but I'm just saying in general even if CF finds some workaround/communicates with the gmail team to get this fixed, it's very likely it will reoccur occasionally in some form with some providers. It's just the nature of forwarding to some place you don't have control over, you're breaking spf/forwarding potentially spam through your/their domain, etc.

You can use something separate for sending, i.e. I use Brevo for SMTP, then I added the account to the same inbox I was receiving on using the SMTP API key. The end result is functionality like any other email account.

Cloudflare does not offer email sending.

You cant use email routing and workspace at the same time. (At least not without a very complex setup)

Jignesh Thummar•4/21/24, 3:21 AM

Jignesh Thummar

or may be we can use any external paid sending service like mailchamp ?

rdm•4/21/24, 5:06 PM

If you are not wanting to pay for Google Workspace and wanted to use Email Routing.. You will need 1) a mailbox to use for the destintation route. And if you want SMTP/outbound to truly be signed by your domain for increased deliverability, you would need a paid service for that outbound leg.

Hi, we build a solution in CF workers to store attachments from incoming mails to R2. Sometimes the emails are marked as Rejected mostly due to some misconfigured sender mail server (SPF / DKIM). Is there any possibility to receive these emails in our Worker script? It should be very nice if we could change some setting to tell the email route that it should always deliver to the worker and let the worker script make the decision to process the email based on a spam score or sender address. Are there any plans to introduce this functionality?

conneo

C

conneo•4/23/24, 10:02 AM

Another question: the dashboard only shows the received emails with status for the last 24 hours (in the list). Is it possible to get a list of all rejected and error messages via Cloudflare API?

I keep on getting these messages when I use email lists I've built using a combination of email routing and a worker. I'm aware that gmail filters these messages and I'd like to turn these warnings off. Is there a way of doing this?

sako

S

sako•4/28/24, 11:08 AM

As mentioned, these are email lists, they would be kind of pointless if I remove recipients, every time a recipient replies to this email list as part of an ongoing discussion, they get this email.

rdm

R

rdm•4/28/24, 12:09 PM

As the screenshot mentions, if you're sending from a gmail account and you include that same gmail account.. Google is discarding it as a duplicate. So, open a ticket with Google, and ask them if there's a way to exclude your gmail account from the rules they impose on their servers. Good luck.

sako

S

sako•4/28/24, 1:28 PM

Thanks for the response, that is however not the issue, the fact that google dismisses emails sent to yourself (via an alias) is in my case wanted behavior, the fact that cloudflare warns me about this behavior every time this happens is the unwanted behavior. As mentioned the reason this happens is because this concerns email lists so I'm on the list and when I want to reply to all the other people on the list I get this email, as do all other people when they reply on the list. Which is annoying, therefor I'd like to turn this warning email off.

rdm

R

rdm•4/28/24, 1:46 PM

I understand the reason. But if you're sending from a gmail to the same gmail, no matter the method in which you do it, google is likely to discard unless a method like ARC is employed.

sako

S

sako•4/28/24, 3:03 PM

Yes which is exacly what I want ot happen, I have no problem/prefer with how gemail handles this, I want Cloudflare to stop sending the email above when I do

rdm

rdm•4/28/24, 3:14 PM

Ahh, ok, so you're wanting Cloudlfare to make an exemption for you, you're in the right place. I think the Email Routing product owner is in this channel. Good luck!

sako

S

sako•4/28/24, 3:48 PM

An exception for just me might be a bit much :p however, a setting to turn this off would be great! Which might already exist but I cannot find it.

rdm

R

rdm•4/28/24, 4:29 PM

Turning it off... only for you.. beause it annoys you. I think that's an exception. But, I did want to know. Are you using just standard email routing from the dash or email workers? The ARC rewrite may (I'm not a programmer, just an old school postmaster) be possible with email workers.
