Email Routing review
Score: 8/10Free inbound email forwarding that just works.
The breakdown explains the score. It is not an average. How to read these.
Last updated
Email Routing gives every zone free inbound email. It forwards custom addresses and catch-alls to real mailboxes, with MX and SPF records configured in one click. For a simple address such as hello@ that does not need its own mailbox, it is hard to beat.
Deliverability of forwarded mail has a solid track record, and the Email Workers integration (processing inbound mail with code) turns it from a convenience into a building block.
It loses two points because outbound sending and replies from aliases belong to the separate Email Service product. Routing only matches addresses, and there is little visibility when a downstream mailbox rejects a forward.

Counts what Cloudflare published, not what broke: time open is how long the status entry stayed open, and nothing before January 2022 is tracked at all. Incidents Cloudflare tagged against nothing but named in the title are counted too. The caveats in full.
