Hi,
We have provisioned VM in Azure for applications purpose. Now the applications want to send email, is there a way to do it in Windows server or setup a VM to perform this function?

@Leong YC Did this link solve your problem? How to: Send Email from a Microsoft Server Application
I would like to setup the VM as a smtp smart server so that all other servers can point to this VM to send mail out. Is it possible ?
@Leong YC VM can be configured as smtp smart server, but how do you want to point to this VM to send emails? please post more details information about your requirement.
Currently, our on-premise smtp smart host is configured using Solaris sendmail. All on-premise applications (excluding exchange) are point to this on-premise sendmail smtp smart host to send email out.
I would like to use the same approach by using Windows as smart host instead. All applications in Azure that need to send email out will point to this Windows smart host. Is it possible?
