Regional Email Processing for Germany, India, and Australia
Email security customers can now select their preferred mail processing location during domain onboarding across MX, BCC, and Journaling methods, with support for Germany, India, Australia, or global processing. This feature helps meet compliance and operational requirements while maintaining global processing as the default option.
We’re excited to announce that Email security customers can now choose their preferred mail processing location directly from the UI when onboarding a domain. This feature is available for the following onboarding methods: MX, BCC, and Journaling.
What’s new
Customers can now select where their email is processed. The following regions are supported:
- Germany
- India
- Australia
Global processing remains the default option, providing flexibility to meet both compliance requirements or operational preferences.
How to use it
When onboarding a domain with MX, BCC, or Journaling:
- Select the desired processing location (Germany, India, or Australia).
- The UI will display updated processing addresses specific to that region.
- For MX onboarding, if your domain is managed by Cloudflare, you can automatically update MX records directly from the UI.
Availability
This feature is available across these Email security packages:
- Advantage
- Enterprise
- Enterprise + PhishGuard
What’s next
We’re expanding the list of processing locations to match our Data Localization Suite (DLS) footprint, giving customers the broadest set of regional options in the market without the complexity of self-hosting.
