Cloudflare Email Service

Sendgrid is such an enshittified product, I am grateful this now exists and integrates directly with tools I have on cloudflare already.

I never got email routing to work. I doubt this will work in the general case.

This is a very long post just to say they're now running an SMTP server. I've been sending and receiving emails from Workers for two years; though for sending, you still need an external SMTP server like SES or Postmark.

Don't get me wrong, sending (and delivering) emails is genuinely hard. But we'll only know how good Cloudflare is at it after a couple years of real-world experience.

How awful is the reputation on those IP addresses going to be?

Did anyone ask the poor people who unknowingly send mail to someone who feeds it to an AI surveillance company?

It would be interesting to send GDPR requests and have Cloudflare figure out all of the parties who got or use your mail.

Slop spam? Slam?

Another email sending service without support for idempotency?

Ugh, who asked for this?
