We have reserved IPs for Email Service and will be protecting the reputation and fighting spam from originating on Email Service.
If we did not do so, our IPs would get flagged and then emails end up in spam or not delivered. That defeats the purpose of having a transactional Email Service. We're well aware of this.
> For years, Spamhaus has observed abusive activity facilitated by Cloudflare’s various services. Cybercriminals have been exploiting these legitimate services to mask activities and enhance their malicious operations, a tactic referred to as living off trusted services (LOTS) [2].
> With 1201 unresolved Spamhaus Blocklist (SBL) listings [3], it is clear that the state of affairs at Cloudflare’s Connectivity Cloud looks less than optimal from an abuse-handling perspective. 10.05% of all domains listed on Spamhaus’s Domain Blocklist (DBL), which indicates signs of spam or malicious activity, are on Cloudflare nameservers

Cloudflare is not perfect, but at least it been consistent about not becoming censorship service with very few exceptions where they banned something.
Id rather let criminals freely buy and use kitchen knives than let shady organizations control who is allowed to buy one.
Not defending spammers, but this comes across a smidge naive considering Cloudflare's overall footprint in the modern internet.
"Thanks for being a user of AgentMail - a lot of people use AgentMail for outbound (spin up and warm up inboxes, send sequences, handle replies), ..."
Yes, that's right. The first use case mentioned is to send automated outbound emails. "Cold prospecting" workflows are likely going to be a big slice of usage on the new Cloudflare service, as it seems to be on AgentMail.
There are serious financial penalties for robocallers who violate the Do Not Call list (in America, at least). Let's update those laws for the 21st century, shall we?
Then how about not market it as "for agents" when said agents are just LLM output?
For example with SES I will get automatically suspended if my bounce rate is more than 10% or if my complaint rate is more than 0.1%.
