Add a sending domain

Add one of your domains right inside the app — FlareMail uses your Cloudflare account to onboard sending, write the DNS, and route replies back to you. No leaving the app.

If your domain is on Cloudflare, you can add it as a sending domain without leaving FlareMail. The app talks to your Cloudflare account to onboard the domain for Email Sending, write the required SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records for you, and set up inbound Email Routing so replies land back in your inbox. Once it's verified, you send as any address on that domain — and your recipients see your domain's name, not “FlareMail”.

Add the domain

  1. Open Sending domainsIn the app, open Settings ( ,) → Sending domains.
  2. Enter your domainUnder Add a sending domain, type your domain, e.g. yourbrand.com. FlareMail suggests a title-cased sender name from it (so docu-coach.com becomes “Docu Coach”). Edit the name if you like — it's what recipients see.
  3. Click Add domainFlareMail onboards the domain for Email Sending, and Cloudflare adds the SPF/DKIM/DMARC records automatically. It also enables Email Routing and points the catch-all at the FlareMail worker so replies come back to you.
  4. Watch the statusThe domain shows Verified once sending is ready and Receiving on once inbound routing is set up. For Cloudflare-hosted domains this is typically instant. If it's still pending, hit Verify to re-check.

Add sender addresses

Under a verified domain, add the specific addresses you want to send from — hello@, support@, you@, and so on. Each one gets the domain's sender name by default, and you can mark one as your default. These are the addresses that appear in the composer's “From” menu.

Send from your domain

When you compose, pick the sender from the From menu at the top of the message. Mail sent from a Cloudflare-provisioned domain goes out through Cloudflare Email Sending and arrives showing your domain's name — e.g. “Docu Coach <[email protected]>”. No more “FlareMail” in the sender line.

Receiving replies

Because adding the domain also sets a catch-all route to the flaremail-api worker, any address on the domain can receive mail — replies to the addresses you send from land straight in FlareMail. You don't need the separate manual routing step for these domains.
