Is there anyway to avoid bouncing? And just accept all emails

According to the documentation, if your email server or mailbox was not working for any period of time, Cloudflare's mail service will stop attempting to send you messages if too many messages bounce. To avoid this, you can try to ensure that your email server or mailbox is running and functional before expecting emails from Cloudflare.
However, there is no direct way to "accept all emails" as mentioned in the documentation. But you can take steps to prevent emails from being blocked or filtered. You can check that your email server or mailbox is not blocking or filtering messages from Cloudflare by ensuring that
<noreply@notify.cloudflare.com> is not being blocked or filtered.

Yes there is
Cloudflare doesn't provide Email sending, it' just forwards emails, and you can't even reply, just receive
Consider using ZohoMail
Cheap and Easy setup
And use bouncify.io API to check the email (if it's valid, like the email can be send) before sending. This way you will get 0 bounce
Amazon SES is best for email sending with Anti Spam technology, but Amazon is strict. Amazon doesn't qualify everyone
Amazon SES emails never goes in spam, even if it's a harmful email, amazon is powerful
Consider not sending harmful emails, even if gmail may allow it and reach into inbox bypassing Spam filter. But if it's reported Amazon will terminate your Amazon SES service/whole account
Yes I’m trying to forward emails to my Gmail
But sometimes they bounce
Sometimes tho only
You mean Cloudflare to Gmail bounce?
Yes it shows bounce in cf dash
And I can’t view email content or anything
Workers shouldn’t bounce tho right
If I’m just logging in my api db
Soft Bounce or Hard Bounce?
Hard bounce
Hard Bounce is dangerous
It happens sometimes
Or in a certain time
Hard Bounce only happens when the email fails to send (address not found, failed)
Are you sure, you have the Gmail address right?
Dangerous?
Yes
Only some emails it happens
Run your own email infrastructure (... for inbound emails), that's the only way you're going to get somewhere in the direction of what you're looking for here.
Forwarding to Gmail, or to any other free mail providers will always be a hit and miss, and quite mostly, a miss.
The majority of all the free mail providers have ramped up their requirements a lot for accepting inbound email deliveries from senders over the past ~ 5 years +/-.
So unless the original sender is DKIM signing their outbound messages, with proper alignment, you will have a hard time getting them forwarded to any of the free mail providers.
And that is just for general delivery...
If Gmail is deciding the message looks suspicious, it doesn't matter with (proper) authentication status at all.
So for the "
just accept all emails" requirement you listed to begin with, that won't ever happen, and especially not when including any of the free mail providers.So a good solution could be using workers to direct the emails to my own server and log the emails down, and also redirect them to Gmail?
I actually have no clue why it hard bounced, it was a email from quizlet.com and some emails from them work some don’t
The thing, if you really insist on seeing everything, will be to take Gmail (and any other free mail providers) completely out of the equation.
At the point where you get to the "
redirect them ..." part, you're literally going to be moving the problem from one place (Cloudflare <-> Gmail) to another (Your own server <-> Gmail).
What exactly does the "Activity Log" say @ https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/email/routing ?If you have lots of hard bounces then Gmail will throw your emails into spam always
