Add the routing rule Test it

Use this only when you are routing one exact address by hand. If you add the root domain in Sending domains, FlareMail creates the catch-all for you and every address on that domain can receive, including agent mailboxes. A subdomain cannot take a catch-all on Free, Pro, or Business Cloudflare accounts.

Add the routing rule

  1. Open Email RoutingIn the Cloudflare dashboard, select your domain and open Email Routing → Routes.
  2. Create a custom addressUnder Custom addresses, click Create address and enter the address you want to receive, e.g. [email protected].
  3. Send it to a WorkerSet the action to Send to a Worker and pick flaremail-api as the destination.
  4. SaveSave the rule. Cloudflare now hands every message for that address to FlareMail.
