Battle of the Clouds: Azure goes lower

SendGrid must be reading this thread...

So suddenly I get an email from SendGrid saying my account is now live, despite not meeting their demands for examples!

Re: Not true.

From what i've read only third party apps allow you to use email as microsoft don't want their IP addresses blacklisted... I've got around 10 websites that use emails for order receipts, enquiry forms etc... if I use the smtp relay for office 365 its around 3 quid a month per domain - i refuse to pay £30 quid a month for a simple email service!

I'm sure sendgrid would be good if they would be a bit more realistic... they want examples of what i'm going to be sending!!! I mean come on!!!

Re: USA and clouds

I'm not so bothered about that, it'd be just as dangerous with an EU provider... maybe i'll wait until web 3.0 - "WEB 3.0... SEND EMAILS FROM A WEBSITE".

After transerring several of my asp.net websites into the azure cloud this week i would like to advise anyone outside the US to steer clear... the apps you need to send simple emails (sendgrid) from your website - such as order receipts and contact forms are only available to those in the USA... The only other option is to hack together your own smtp relay... completely unprofessional. The amazon cloud offers email relays, my web host that i've been with for 10 years has an smtp email relay!!!!

Re: I'm not using it.....

I pretty much quit my job because foxpro is so shite... Its about 20 years out of date yet the company i worked for continued to invest into it... It was an embarrassment when people asked 'whats it programmed in?'... Cough cough fox cough pro ahem.

A great review so why only 75%?
