Hi, I'm the Head of Trust & Safety at Cloudflare. I'd be happy to discuss the specifics of your domain's DNS settings that lead to this if you'd like to email me -- justinATcloudflareDOTcom
Specifically:
"Having an MX record for a root domain proxied through Cloudflare will reveal your origin web server’s IP address to potential attackers. See Why do I have a dc-######### subdomain? for further details."
This article includes the following quote:
"If your mail server resides on the same IP as your web server, your MX record will expose your origin IP address."
