Cloudflare Email Forwarding Wildcard | An Intro

Did you know that the Cloudflare Email Forwarding Wildcard feature lets us set up email forwarding for all subdomains of our domain with a single wildcard entry?

For instance, suppose we own the domain “example.com” and we want to forward any email sent to any subdomain of “example.com” to a certain email address.

By configuring a wildcard email forwarding rule, we can ensure that all emails sent to any subdomain of our domain are automatically forwarded to the designated email address.

Furthermore, this feature comes in handy when we have multiple subdomains and want to centralize their email management.

To set up this feature we need the domain’s DNS records managed by Cloudflare.

Once we have access to our domain’s DNS settings in Cloudflare, we can configure the email forwarding rule with a wildcard entry, mentioning the destination email address.

Then, Cloudflare automatically forwards all emails sent to any subdomain of our domain to the designated email address.

Our experts would like to point out that Cloudflare Email Forwarding Wildcard is only available for domains whose DNS is managed by Cloudflare.

How to set up Cloudflare Email Forwarding Wildcard Feature

Let’s take a look at how to set up this feature:

1. First, we have to check if our domain’s DNS is managed by Cloudflare. If not, we have to transfer the DNS management to Cloudflare before we continue.
2. Then, log in to our Cloudflare account and head to the domain we want to configure email forwarding for.
3. Next, head to the DNS tab and select the type of record as TXT in the Add record section.
4. Now, we have to enter an asterisk in the Name field.
5. Then, enter the email address we want to forward all incoming emails in the Value field.
6. At this point, we have to set the TTL value.
7. Next, click the Add Record button to save the wildcard email forwarding rule.

After the DNS record is saved, Cloudflare will start forwarding all incoming emails for any subdomain of our domain to the designated email address.
