App Service SMTP Relay

Question

I have an application that needs to send emails to external users (confirmation emails, reset passwords etc.) however we use MFA and send more than 30 emails per minute so we can't use SMTP Client Submission.

We have a connector set up for SMTP Relay at the moment which works for our on-premise apps, however the apps that we have deployed to Azure App Service and the apps we have in DevOps need to be set up, I'm just not sure how as these apps scale out and use a lot of outbound IPs

Hi @Danny Chrismas

What SMTP relay service are you using?

SendGrid is the SMTP relay service we recommend using with Azure App service.

Common SendGrid use cases include:

• Automatically sending receipts or purchase confirmations to customers.
• Administering distribution lists for sending customers monthly fliers and promotions.
• Collecting real-time metrics for things like blocked email and customer engagement.
• Forwarding customer inquiries.
• Processing incoming emails.

Please follow this tutorial to set up SendGrid for your apps on Web apps & DevOps

Hope that helps.
