I am returning to Umbraco after some years and one of the things I am struggling with at the moment is getting the Conctact form to work. You can see it at http://bentley.s1.umbraco.io/contact/ the site is based on uSkinned's "Source" template. If you fill out the form and submit it, you get an error stating:
There was an error sending your contact details.
Failure sending mail.
So my question is how do you set up this sort of stuff on UaaS? Especially bearing in mind that I am running from just the Live environment for my project at the moment.
This will require you to update your web.config file with the new smtp settings however. In order to do so you will need to git clone your site, update the web.config and commit/push the changes.
That totally makes sense now you mention it! I already have an account with SendGrid and MailGun which could be another option. Thanks for answering this quickly :-)

UaaS doesn't offer SMTP services by default to prevent spammers from signing up and using their trial period to send out large amounts of mail.
So, currently, it's necessary for you to sign up for a free service like https://www.sparkpost.com/ or https://sendgrid.com/ .
