I’ve tried to set up a catch all email forward for a domain that goes to a gmail address. I’m getting the following error:
The response from the remote server was:
554 5.7.1 : Relay access denied
My DNS records look like:
I have verified the email in cloudflare and its all green checkmarks.
Any things on where I went wrong?
What’s the domain name, so that we can confirm that the domain does have Cloudflare nameservers at the moment?
I ask because there has been a case with Namecheap (see below) that seems to email forwarding of its own, and that might be the case for you too?
I saw you post you shared already but as far as I can tell it shouldn’t apply because I only have the cloudflare MX records and I’m redirecting DNS from namecheap. I thought maybe there would be a setting in my gmail account I had to enable but I couldn’t find anything. Its not google business or anything - just a regular gmail account.
The forwarding is set up correctly, and I can see it in the cloudflare settings. but it seems like this is something on the google/gmail side. not sure what it could be though.

It seems that Cloudflare may not be configured as an authorized sender for your domain. But upon taking a look at your DNS records, I do see that the proper SPF record is added.
At this point, I am unclear on what might be happening.
Yeah this is super weird. Thanks for the extra eyes. I guess I’ll have to figure out another option for email routing. appreciate you.
Where are you getting this error? Is it in a bounced email you sent to the address?
