Cloudflare adds Email Sending


I've blogged before about Cloudflare's Email Routing service, how it can route inbound email replies, and how their email authentication requirements help broaden the “no auth, no entry” mandate, requiring that email senders authenticate all emails with SPF and DKIM (and publish DMARC records, too).

Cloudflare is now expanding their email-related functionality, adding Email Sending, a “new capability that allows [users] to send transactional emails directly from Cloudflare Workers.” Recently launched in private beta (and announced here), Cloudflare touts that their DNS expertise allows them to automatically configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC for domains sending email through this service. Nice to see easy authentication, right out of the box.

Will this grow and/or become popular enough to be a competitor to email relay services like Amazon SES and the like? We shall see.
