A safer way to send email

[Verakso]

This is most likely due to my incompetence on how git works, but I am not that keen on putting my Outlook credentials into the Web.config for everyone to see.

So either there is another way to keep and updated that information in Web.config and still keep it private, or perhaps there is another way to implement this, perhaps using some Azure mail service?

Heya, you might have sorted this by now but you can edit some stuff using the App Settings in Azure app slot or using the Release Step of VSTS
Specifying Web.config settings in Azure
If the Web.config file settings that you want to change are in the or the element, and if you are deploying to Web Apps in Azure App Service, you have another option for automating changes during deployment. You can enter the settings that you want to take effect in Azure in the Configure tab of the management portal page for your web app (scroll down to the app settings and connection strings sections). When you deploy the project, Azure automatically applies the changes. For more information, see Windows Azure Web Sites: How Application Strings and Connection Strings Work.
