I was configuring the SMTP server in Azure. I'd like to inquire if there are any issues related to creating an SMTP server on Azure Server 2022.

I have configured the SMTP server, but when I attempt to send an email from the server, the SMTP server service automatically turns off

can you please help me out for that

    SMTP service has been deprecated for a very long time,

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/hh831568(v=ws.11)?redirectedfrom=MSDN#smtp

    So while it is not yet removed from Windows Server, you shouldn't use it any more.

    If you are looking for an SMTP solution from Microsoft Azure, you might take a look at Azure Communication Services,

    Hi@Mohammed Nisamudheen

    A SMTP Server isn't going to work in Azure. Azure block the outgoing ports unless you have an Enterprise agreement subscription, or you request the block to be lifted. Even then the receiving mail servers will probably reject the mail. In Azure you could use a SMTP relay service like SendGrid.
