Today I have received an e-mail from Microsoft with exciting news that my MVP status has been renewed again!
For me this is the fourth time
to receive this award. The third year in the program has been an

Last week BizTalk360 announced a new one-click installation process that works great for BizTalk running in Windows Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
This can be used to set up a stand-alone single server BizTalk environment in a short amount of time. One of the key features of BizTalk360 is the ability to send alert emails based on criteria you specify. Sending emails on a isolated environment in Azure may be a challenge due to no SMTP Server.
Never fail! SendGrid has a super easy and free solution to this problem. Just sign up for the free account as an Add-On inside the Windows Azure Management Portal.
SendGrid’s current offer is for 25,000 free email per month! This should last you a while. SendGrid offer the ability to easily send email via SMTP, .Net, or even a REST API – all using their SMTP server.

Using SendGrid with any Windows Azure application looks to be a great solution for sending email.
