What it does

Cloudflare's free plan includes DNS hosting and Email Routing, which forwards mail sent to your domain to an inbox you already use.

  • Receiving replies at hello@yourdomain and forwarding them to Gmail
  • DNS-over-HTTPS lookups for Larvabot's MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC checks
  • Checking that a lead's email domain can receive mail

Get set up

  1. Move your domain's DNS to Cloudflare
  2. Turn on Email Routing and forward your outreach address to your inbox

Where it goes

Nothing to paste into Larvabot. Once the steps above are done, it just works.

Staying free

Nothing to meter. The lookups are ordinary public DNS queries.
