I don't need all the stuff they offer.

I ONLY need [email protected]...

Anything out there thats free or self hosted just for this.

Porkbun is pretty decent but actually is 25 USD a year, and so same as a single Google workspace account.

Or self host email with a basic web email gui.

You don’t even need to register the domain through Cloudflare, you can just set up Cloudflare as the DNS master, and they’ll put in the right DNS records when you configure Email forwarding.

YES it does setup the right MX SPF records for me

BUT I had to do it from within a "website" as they call it.

You're saying something slightly different ? If you have a URL to the GUI to this DNS master thingy I would be grateful. Very curious

No, that is exactly how you do it. It’s not a great name but you add a site, set up your registrar with what you need to point it at CF, and you’re up and running. Considering Cloudflare is mostly used to protect websites the names… clunky.
