I assume you transferred the nameserver to Cloudflare so it became the authoritative source (full DNS)?
If you did that and also transferred the MX records theoretically everything should still work.
I can only think of rare circumstances like if you use a DNS registrar based email forwarding, that now does not work anymore for some strange reason.
What email delivery service do you use?
yes to the first question
webmail from amen.pt
Yes, but how did the emails got delivered? Did you have MX records? Then it should continue to work.
yes i did
at least on other domains i have
Well, without MX records you cannot receive emails on a domain.
how can i troubleshoot it?
I don't see any DNS records for
lightup.pt, the domain exists of course in the WHOIS.
I think you need to set a few things up in the Cloudflare DNS section for this domain.like email routing?
Like everything?
ahahahahahah
i toughti just needed to change the name
If you transfer the authoritative nameserver to Cloudflare the process is smart and tries to auto-detect most DNS records, but that does not seem to have happened (or you decided to skip that).
i guess ill add a MX record to cloudflare
That will almost certainly not bring your webmail back in action.
hmm
is it lost forever now haahh?
No clue. Your webmail provider should offer instruction how to get things working on a domain
Clouldflare can forward emails for a domain to an existing, working email. But that is different than SMTP MX forwarding. Depends on how your webmail service works.
but it doesn't have anything to do with cloudflare
This may be an issue with the Cloudflare onboarding process currently having trouble, see the other thread -> https://discord.com/channels/595317990191398933/1306004111866597406
okay okay thank you!
this issue has been resolved
read here to rescan the records, if you didn't move the nameservers, otherwise you will need to add records manually
