FAQ

What is nomail?

nomail is a fork of x2.email, a minimalistic UI on top of Cloudflare Email Routing. Huge thanks to Jesse Tinell for the original work. This fork adds multi-domain support, random suffixes, dark mode and a refreshed design.

Will I be able to respond from the alias email?

No. This is a one-way email forwarder. You can only receive emails.

What are the limitations of Cloudflare Email Routing?

1. Size

   Email Routing does not support messages bigger than 25 MiB.

2. Email Address Internationalization (EAI):
   1. Supported: Domains with internationalized characters.
      Example: ✅ info@piñata.es
   2. Not supported: Local-parts of email addresses with internationalized characters.
      Example: ❌ piñata@piñata.es
3. Non-delivery Reports (NDRs)

   Email Routing won't forward NDRs. The original sender won't get a notification if the email fails to deliver.

4. DMARC Policies & Email Forwarding

   Restrictive DMARC policies may lead to delivery issues for forwarded emails. Consult dmarc.org for more.

5. Replying using Cloudflare Domain

   If you receive a forwarded email and reply to it, the recipient will see it coming from your actual email address (e.g. my-name@gmail.com), not your custom Cloudflare domain address (e.g. info@my-company.com).

6. Special Characters in Custom Addresses

   "+" and "." are treated as standard characters. Any unique functionality tied to these characters in providers like Gmail won't apply here.

7. Subdomain Email Routing

   Exclusive to Cloudflare Enterprise customers.

Where are the emails stored?

Neither Cloudflare nor nomail store your emails anywhere. Cloudflare Email Routing directs emails from your alias to your preferred inbox. You read them in your normal email client (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.).
