Hi, I have a PHP application hosted on a VM in Azure that's supposed to send mails using PHPMailer but the mails are being blocked from sending. I've just discovered that Microsoft automatically blocks mails on port 25. Is there an alternative and also a documentation to implement. Also can I use Office 365 for the mails.

    Hi @Adedayo Emmanuel Olatayo ,

    one option is to use an authenticated SMTP relay service like Sendgrid.

    Hello,

    To add here, you can set up XOUATH2 with PHPMailer. Here is a guide:
