Forwarding to addresses requiring authentication can be problematic. Cloudflare's email forwarding doesn't provide authentication credentials. The recipient server might reject the forwarded email if it doesn't recognize the sender or if SPF/DKIM/DMARC checks fail. Consider using a dedicated email service or configuring your origin server to handle email forwarding with proper authentication.
