Description

Automatic verification for emails with domains on the same Cloudflare account.

Benefit

Currently all emails used for email routing destinations have to be individually verified. If a domain is registered to a Cloudflare account I would argue that it is safe to assume that the emails are owned by the account owner.

If a user owns a.com & b.com on their Cloudflare account. When a user tries to setup [email protected] to redirect to [email protected] using email routing they should not need to verify the email.

It seems to me you’re missing two important points:

– Owning/controlling the domain in your Cloudflare account does not mean every user on the domain wants to reveive the email you’re forwarding. In a one-man shop, maybe. But in a corporate environment, a big no-no.

– The verification emails are not just to verify email account ownership. They also verify the destination address CAN receive emails. In your example, I don’t see how having both a.com and b.com in the same Cloudflare account proves that [email protected] can receive emails forwarded to it.

Or am I missing something here?
