    Or just use the direct IP to connect?

    Cloudflare doesnt support the smtp protocol.

    I tried that too. But it doesnt work. Can i use any other mail networks? I tried gmail and it is blocking the email and asking me to authorize it. I did authorize still not sending.

    So fix your mail server. Surely one of your threads here is applicable to fixing a mail server?

    As jHadley said, it must be a server problem them.

    Gmail AFAIK doesn't offer free domain emailing anymore. (They did)

    What I use is https://domains.live.com/ which works fine.

    Edit: Mind you there is a 500 email limit:

    "Member accounts
    You can create up to 500 accounts in your domain."

    Why does a runescape private server need to send emails anyway?

    1. Create A record for mail.yourdomain.com and point to server's IP.
    2. Change MX record to mail.yourdomain.com
    3. (If enabled) Deactivate CloudFlare for mail.yourdomain.com (gray cloud).

    Not port rules, page rules. Which part of the page will be cached, and which part won't be.

    In addition, CF is not a SMTP proxy/relay, they're a pure HTTP reverse proxy with anycast DNS.
