Quoteonly an idiot would not delete their MX records from CloudFlare.

By that definition the majority of users of CF are idiots because most wouldn't *know* to do so.

The minute the real IP address is discoverable - and backtracking via email is the favourite but not the only method - CF's 'protection' doesn't do anything for you.

The fact that their uptime is questionable is also not so beneficial either...

I know exactly what cloud flare is and does... And none of my statements are incorrect, despite what you (or they) want to claim...

There are plenty of good reasons why you might want to delete your MX records from CloudFlare. I've done it both ways and achieved what I needed.

Is there a CloudFlare mod? If not somebody send me a PM and I'll write it. It would take me about an hour. I already modded my custom CDS to be compatible with CloudFlare. All I'd need to do is package it for SMF.

I need an excuse to get back on the top 10 mod package author list anyway!
