Disable SPF for email forwarding.
Hi everyone,
I'm running into an issue where forwarded emails are being dropped if they fail SPF checks. In particular, I'm having trouble receiving emails from Slack, as their messages fail SPF when forwarded, which makes it impossible for me to receive them. I'd like to configure my mail system to allow these forwarded messages through even if they fail SPF, or at least to not automatically drop them. I understand the risks of relaxing SPF enforcement, but in cases like Slack, I ahve to. Is there a way to bypass SPF failures for specific senders or domains? Thanks!

I have the same issue
Any fix?
postman has the same issue
why only CF blocks it?

Google mail has does not have this issue
cant I disable SPF check?
I don't care about the security issues as currently it has too many false positives anyway
You're right, but I need some way to deal with this
Slack nor Postman would care if I told them about their SPF issue
I am noone
Cloudflare should have an option for me to choose whether or not I want it to block e-mails that have failed SPF
