Why NameCrane MXfilter appears in this category
NameCrane anti-spam outsourced filtering.
We classify it as a email security gateway from primary MX record (lowest preference) matching a maintained provider rule. This is infrastructure attribution from public DNS, not evidence of a direct contract or exclusive use.
NameCrane MXfilter is an email routing and filtering service that acts as the primary mail handler for domains across the web. It processes inbound mail delivery for smaller sites and mid-market organisations rather than large enterprises running their own mail infrastructure.
NameCrane MXfilter's footprint concentrates in the .com domain space and skews toward smaller, non-flagship domains, making it a handler for SMBs, agencies, and smaller merchants. For email senders, this means NameCrane recipients represent a distinct and valuable segment requiring dedicated testing—not the scale of a tier-one ISP, but real delivery volume operating under its own authentication and filtering rules.

Co-deployment with Cloudflare Email Routing
NameCrane MXfilter frequently appears on the same domains as Cloudflare Email Routing, indicating a deployment pattern where Cloudflare manages DNS and initial mail routing whilst NameCrane filters the downstream message flow. Senders should understand that authentication checks (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) occur at Cloudflare's edge first; if a domain fails authentication before reaching NameCrane's systems, rejection or flagging may occur at the Cloudflare layer, never reaching NameCrane's own filtering logic.
