Not forwarding.
Identity-aware routing.
Customers write to any address on your domain. OhRelay routes it to your inbox and keeps the sender identity intact — so your reply comes back from the right address, automatically.
One conversation, start to finish
Customer writes to a managed address
The outside world still writes to support@, billing@, sales@, or another domain address without seeing anything about your internal inbox structure.
OhRelay resolves which address was contacted
The system identifies exactly which managed address the customer contacted instead of treating the message like generic forwarding with no reply context.
Mail lands in the mapped working inbox
That address is routed into the inbox that should actually process the work, whether it belongs to an owner, one operator, or a small remote team.
The operator replies from their usual workflow
The operator keeps working inside Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail instead of switching into another mailbox product or juggling multiple domain accounts.
The correct sender address is restored on the way out
The reply goes back out with the same visible sender address the customer originally contacted, which is the part ordinary forwarding usually does not preserve.
Why this is different from plain forwarding
- Your email never passes through our servers — Inbound mail flows directly from Cloudflare's routing infrastructure to your inbox. OhRelay processes only the addressing rules — not the message content. Privacy by architecture, not just policy.
- SPF, DKIM, DMARC — configured automatically — Mail authentication records are what determine whether a branded email lands in an inbox or a spam folder. OhRelay configures all required DNS records automatically on your Cloudflare domains. No technical setup required.
- You always know which address the customer used — Forwarding strips that context. OhRelay tracks exactly which of your addresses was contacted so your reply always goes back from the right sender — automatically.
- Replies go from the correct branded address — without you choosing — Forwarding gets mail to your inbox. Getting the reply back out from the right branded address is the part forwarding skips. OhRelay handles it in the background.
- Outbound replies go through Amazon SES — Your replies are sent via Amazon's email infrastructure — one of the highest-reputation sending systems available. That means your replies actually land in inboxes, not just get sent.
Not a mailbox. Not a bulk email tool. Not a forwarding alias.
OhRelay is a routing and identity layer.
It's the piece that sits between your domain addresses and the inbox you already use, and keeps everything aligned.
