Hi,

I have published web role in azure. I have installed SMTP in server and set the starting type as "Automatic" since everytime it should start this service automatically. 

In my application, whenever server gets restarted, SMTP could not be found. I need to install it again in this case.

Can somebody suggest what could be the problem here?

Hi,

 Have you configured the project to include the startup files.
 Refer the Below article under : "include Files in the service package" section.

 RDP into your Role instance and verify that all the script files are copied to the root folder.
 
 As an alternative you can also refer to the following article that talks about SendGrid service.
