Hi Bojil,

We are using Newsletter Studio on a number of Umbraco sites on Azure. We are indeed using SendGrid for the SMTP server. You can use the free version to send up to 25000 emails per month. You can register for an account from within the Azure portal

You configure your mail server in 2 places. First in web.config:

<system.net>
   <mailSettings>
     <smtp>
        <network host="smtp.sendgrid.net" port="587" defaultCredentials="false" 
                 userName="sendgridusername" password="sendgridpassword" />
     </smtp>
   </mailSettings>
</system.net>

With above setting you can send mail from the site in Umbraco Forms or from .Net code. To also be able to send from NewsletterStudio, you'll need to add it to the config, either via the newsletterStudio.config file (in the \Config folder in Umbraco) or in the settings section from NewsletterStudio. Below is the code to put in the config file. Only the smtp part is complete. The others keys are only there to guide you to the right spot in the file.

<newsletterStudio>
   <outgoingEmail>
      <smtpServers>
         <clear />
         <add name="smtp.sendgrid.net" host="smtp.sendgrid.net" port="587"
            username="sendgridusername" password="sendgridpassword#" enableSsl="false" />
      </smtpServers>
   </outgoingEmail>
</newsletterStudio>

Let me know if you have other questions.
