It does. But CloudFlare proxy blocks all email traffic. So can't use your domain as a server host for mail clients connect to. You either have to disable CloudFlare proxy or use another domain/host to connect to that isn't proxied by CloudFlare. For example your server hostname is often a good alternative.

Also enabling CloudFlare proxy on your webmail domain will likely cause problems. It's not recommended.
