I wanted to share my recent experience with setting up email sending in my Django application, which I’m deploying on Azure Web Apps. Since I’m using django-allauth for authentication, I needed to ensure that the email confirmation and password reset workflows were properly configured. After some research, I found a solution that worked well for me.

I have an existing SQL database in Azure, created from a scraping project using Azure Functions. My new SaaS needs to access this data. However, I prefer not to modify the existing Azure database during development.
