Configure direct-delivery incoming email for self-hosted sites with Mail-Receiver

Create the A record for the new subdomain. It will use the same ip address as your forums.domain.tld. This should be set to DNS Mode Only.

Note that this does expose the IP address of your forum and makes it possible for people to bypass Cloudflare protection mechanisms like DDoS protection and WAF. It’s better to run mail-receiver on a separate server.
