I want to use Cloudflare, and it requires that I use their nameservers.

The problem is that I'm using some features from Namecheap like email forwarding, which will be disabled (if I didn't get it wrong) if I don't use Namecheap's nameservers.

Any ideas?

I feel you... I have exactly the same problem, neither talking to namecheap nor cloudflare provided me with a decent alternative...

I had asked the same question here: http://serverfault.com/questions/448419/using-namecheap-dns-with-cloudflare

I have 100+ domains and for many of them I just need a forwarding to a central email address (which is hosted on google apps) however google apps also has a limit on the number of aliases you can have (around 20-50 if i'm not wrong) so can't go that way really...

I've been talking to namecheap recently. Subscribe to our free trial of Open Exchange they said. You will have email forwarding they said... xD. I subscribed but I couldn't find it, so now I'm waiting for a response on whether I can have a catch-all email at least, someone from support thought it was possible. I hope they add that (or email forwarding) to the interface, or it will be a pain. – ChocoDeveloper Nov 18 '12 at 17:32
That is exactly what they said, but i have 100+ domains so that's not an option for me...What you could also do if you have a small number of domains is use google apps for business but bear in mind they have a 50 domain limit (or similar) on aliases – Onitlikesonic Nov 19 '12 at 8:40
