Hi @DryfishofNorwayManager-5708,

You could do the SMTP test by using Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer on Azure VM to get more detailed information about the connection.

Answer 2

Hi,

I have the same problem, to send emails from my VM in Azure to an Mail Exchange, the weird thing is that I can send from other servers, but Azure VM.

I have an Email App running in a VM and using an MX endpoint and port 25.

Is there any settings issue in my Azure VM?
