Free gmail account forwarding with Cloudflare - email failures

What is the name of the domain?

What is the issue you’re encountering

Hello, We registered a domain - climatecourtnews.com - with Cloudflare in order to use email routing to Gmail - a free account, not Google Suite. As far as I know, we set this up correctly and we see no errors over at Cloudflare. Yet we note many failures with the rejected reason: “Unknown error: transient error (421): 4.7.28 Gmail has detected an unusual rate of unsolicited mail. To protect4.7.28 our users from spam, mail has been temporarily rate limited.” Would anyone be able to advise on how to ensure these emails are sent/received properly? Would we have a better experience with a paid-for Google Suite account? Thank you!

Welcome to the Cloudflare Community. :logodrop:

You will most assuredly have a better experience using Google Workspace email instead of forwarding to a free consumer Gmail account.
