I implemented the sendgrid (With Basic Free plan) feature in my Azure site that I hosted. Only things I needed were:<br />
<br />
SMTP Server:<br />
Port<br />
Username<br />
Password<br />
<br />
All these were mentioned in the documentation very well.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a website hosted on my server that has a page for &quot;contact us&quot;. This uses SMTP server to send email to some people. <br />
It works fine on the local server with connection to SMTP server for mail relay. We are using .Net libraries to send the email.<br />
<br />
Now I want to move this website to Azure websites. <br />
Here the SMTP functionality fails as there is no SMTP server. <br />
<br />
What is the SMTP server I should connect to in Azure.<br />
This seems to be simple, but I have no idea about how to set this up.<br />
Can anyone help me out?

SMTP in azure websites

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Email Servers

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.

Email Clients

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
