Cloudflare Email Service is a deliverability bet dressed as an agents launch

Personally I'm against LLM blog posts, and this post was clearly largely LLM written.

There are enough humans writing about tech that there should always be an organically written alternative to slop available, let's share those instead.

It'll be interesting to see how quickly Cloudf**** gets on to blocklists, considering how actively hostile they are to people who complain about abuse and how they openly state that they only take action against known, obvious and unclever phishing, and they don't take action against spam sites, nor sites run by phishers who are smart enough to return a different page to Cloudf****'s own networks. This suggests that spammers will find it trivial to be "compliant enough" to send spam via Cloudf****.

Side note:

Microsoft in particular is notoriously opaque about deliverability decisions, and their filters reject mail for reasons nobody outside the Exchange Online team can reliably diagnose.

Does anyone think that Microsoft is special here, and that Gmail, for instance, is somehow less opaque? If so, I'd love to ask some questions about Gmail's filters.
