What is the issue you’re encountering

I can’t link my Cloudflare email to Gmail via SMTP. I linked the email address I created in Cloudflare [email protected] to my Gmail account. Everything works perfectly now. If someone sends me an email, it goes to Gmail. But I can’t send emails from Gmail as if it were from the address [email protected]. For this I have to add it to Gmail as an alias. I’ve been trying this all day. I don’t know what else to do. I’ve tried all the numbers for SMTP and port and TLS and SSL but it still doesn’t work. Please help me.

The only variation that I could get to connect to that server was using port 25 with TLS (STARTTLS). That may indicate a problem with the SMTP server, as it should be working with 465/SSL."

I tryed all the port numbers including 25, doesen’t work. At the end asked me to check the pasword. But omly for 24. Please see the screenshots. How can I check the password for an email created in cloudflare, that hasn’t have a password?

@romeoava -

Cloudflare is a inbound-only service (e.g. receive and forward), and does NOT run an outbound SMTP service / mail service, that you can use, to send emails to arbitrary destinations through.

As for your attached screenshots, these are the place where you would need to enter the relevant login details, that you have received from your outbound (SMTP) email provider.

If you haven’t yet found an outbound (SMTP) email provider, to act on behalf of your domain name for outbound email, then you will need to find one first.

That makes a lot of sense.
Thank you very much for the answer.
What solution do I have?

Once you have settled for a specific SMTP provider, the solution is to insert the relevant details, that you have obtained from the given SMTP provider, in to the fields.
