This is my first time posting and I wanted to thank you all - Orchard is just a great piece of software. I was able to get my web-site up and running as an Azure web-site using Orchard, Web Matrix and SQL Azure.
In case it helps someone else, I wanted to share that I was able to get a Contact Us (email) form working by following the great video on channel 9
http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Web+Camps+TV/Sebastien-Ros-Introduces-Orchard-15 and then using SendGrid (free on Azure for the first 25,000 mail messages a month). The SendGrid folks did a post about how to get SendGrid to work with an
Azure web-site (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazure/archive/2012/09/10/guest-post-getting-started-with-sendgrid-on-windows-azure.aspx )
however they didn't mention orchard. I was able to get it to work easily by following Sebastian's video and then using the following site settings for Email:
sender email address: any account you like
host name: smtp.sendgrid.com
port: 25
enable SSL (this must be false)
require credentials (this should be true)
username: your sendgrid account username
password: your sendgrid account password
