I have a web role that needs to send some e-mails. I have code for this that works locally on my computer, but when I run it on Azure it doesn't work and I just get a "The transport failed to connect to the server." exception. The SMTP server uses SSL and port 465.
Is there some firewall setting that blocks this that I need to fix or could it be something else?
Not really sure about the real cause for this problem, but after we upgraded to Windows Server 2012 on our Azure instances it worked.
