Cloudflare can significantly improve your cPanel email deliverability by providing DNS management features. By correctly configuring your MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records within Cloudflare's DNS settings, you help authenticate your emails, reducing the chances of them being marked as spam or rejected by recipient mail servers. Ensuring these records are proxied through Cloudflare (orange cloud) for DNS lookups can sometimes be a factor, but for email, it's crucial to have MX records *unproxied* (grey cloud) to ensure proper mail delivery. Incorrect proxying of MX records will lead to email delivery failures.
