To enable email forwarding in Cloudflare, you'll need to create MX records (Mail Exchanger records) for the domain you want to forward. These records tell the internet where to deliver email for that domain. You'll also configure the forwarding settings within Cloudflare's domain management interface, specifying the destination email address. The precise records depend on your setup, but generally, you'll need to point your MX records to Cloudflare's servers.
