Email Routing Question
I got this email from Cloudfare, is there anything wrong that I need to worry about? Please help, thank you!

It's saying you probably tried to email your custom domain email alias from the same gmail that the inbox forwards to, so gmail will automagically delete the forwarded email. If you're trying to test if it works or not, use a different email account
For example, if you set up [email protected] as the destination address, do not send your test email from that same Gmail account. Send a test email to that destination address from another email account (for example, [email protected]). https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-routing/get-started/test-email-routing/
I see now, thank you so much for the help!
@Chaika Another question, does this affect outgoing emails that are sent from my source email? In other words, if I send emails from my source email, will the recipient receive the email sent?
I don't understand what you mean by that. That specific error is just because inboxes like gmail see that you sent the email out, and when they receive it back, they "deduplicate" the conversation and delete the duplicate incoming email.
You also can't send emails from your custom domain via email routing
No, it does not affect mails that you send to anyone else from your gmail account.
Email Routing only affects emails sent to the custom address you setup in your Dashboard. Nothing else is affected.
