Cloudflare Email Routing

What Cloudflare Email Routing is

Cloudflare Email Routing is a web service for forwarding inbound email sent to a custom domain. It supports catch-all forwarding, so messages addressed to that domain can be routed onward, and it provides delivery logs and API access. The service is listed as free and has a free plan. Workers Free includes unlimited inbound Email Routing. Workers Paid also includes unlimited inbound routing and 3,000 outbound emails per month; no price is listed for either plan. Email Routing supports custom domains, but it does not support sending to multiple recipients or outbound and reply mail. The product is available on the web. Cloudflare was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States. The listed plans both include unlimited inbound routing, while Workers Paid includes the stated monthly outbound email allowance. That allowance does not change the product’s listed limitation: Email Routing does not provide outbound or reply mail.

Who it suits

Cloudflare Email Routing may suit people who need inbound forwarding for a custom domain, including catch-all routing. It is not suited to workflows requiring multiple recipients or outbound and reply mail.

Verdict

Cloudflare Email Routing covers inbound custom-domain forwarding, with catch-all support, logs, and API access. Check its recipient and mail-direction limits if your workflow needs more than inbound forwarding.
