I am looking to use SendGrid to send emails based on some trigger(S) within an application. Should the application invoke SendGrid API calls to send emails, or should it send emails to Azure Queue and have some other process send the email from Azure, like an Azure micro service?

Is it possible to set up Auto Mail Forwarding using Outlook Mail Rest API for Outlook 365 mailbox?
I need a way to do using a .Net console app.
Looking at the API documentation it only mentions how to forward a mail message, but not auto forwarding.
I am trying to configure chef handlers to send email whenever a chef client run fails following https://docs.chef.io/handlers.html . In the example here email is being sent via SMTP server. I don't have SMTP Server and wanted some way to send email using postfix. How can I configure helper.rb in that case? Or is there any other way to send emails with lesser configurations?
No, you'll need a relay host to send through. You can use GMail or something like AWS SES, Mailgun, Sendgrid, or Sparkpost though.
I have created an SES Account and I have verifed my domain - easy as the A record is already with AWS route53. I now need to send emails. Note: I have also created an smtp user account and have the keys.
Question - can I use any (lets say PHP as I like PHP) php script to send emails via SES?
I have found a couple of sites that appear to have scripts for SES like http://www.orderingdisorder.com/aws/ses/ but wanted to ask if now my domain is verified and I have user/keys etc is SES really just an SMTP gateway and I can use any (working) script to send emails via this interface?
thx
You can use their SMTP gateway or send emails via the AWS SDK for PHP programmatically. Just download the SDK, include it in your PHP file and you're good to go.

Is AppHarbor only for website hosting, or is it possible to have a windows service run on it to send emails every day at X time. I have an email sending service that I want to integrate with my site. Thanks.
AppHarbor also supports background workers and using them to schedule tasks is pretty simple.
For sending emails, you should consider using one of the email add-ons.
We have many applications sending out emails. I am looking for some way (stand alone or hosted service) to intercept all outgoing emails and access them through web application. This will help us to test all emails.
