I thought cloudflares email product is only for receiving, not outbound ?

I was writing this comment and then asked AI model to find me a blog post and it looks like Cloudflare does support outbound now (I am seeing a send mail option) https://blog.cloudflare.com/email-service/ So yes it supports both and this feature was recently added (september 2025) & its still in private beta or something similar but yes now its possible.

But I have still written parts of the comments where I had assumed that you were right and I am still gonna let it be to show what my thinking process was I guess. Not that it matters now but I am frugal in finding alternatives sooo yeah :> lol (currently the cf private beta option's the best imo)

Yea I am a little bit confused as well being honest.

That being said, I feel as if even if Cloudflare might not be the best approach, one can try out purelymail (https://purelymail.com/) as well.

I feel as if Amazon SES might be the best option for it (or any EU alternative, I remember seeing an UK service with the same competitive pricing of Amazon SES)

But that being said, I am unable to understand the exact use of E-mail & what's the real idea to suggest the best infrastructure to use.

I mean technically, can something like cloudflare workers for inbox and amazon ses for outbound work if cloudflare email product is only for receving

That being said all of this is basing on the fact that what you thought is right
