I want to configure an alert in Azure portal. When it fires, I want to send a notification to a contact group, for example: mygroup@xxx.com. I choose action type: Email/SMS/Push/Voice Interesting thing: when I set up action group not for a contact group, but for my personal email - I see the alert in my mailbox. Is there any way to configure action group for a contact group consisting of emails? Is there a whitelist/blacklist configuration somewhere?

Verify that emails from these three addresses are not blocked:
azure-noreply@microsoft.com
azureemail-noreply@microsoft.com
alerts-noreply@mail.windowsazure.com
It is common that internal mailing lists or distribution lists block emails from external email addresses. You need to whitelist the above email addresses. To test, add a regular work email address (not a mailing list) to the action group and see if alerts arrive to that email.

Note also that sometimes MS/Azure IPs get blacklisted as well, and the Azure Portal will still say the notification was "fired" with no indication it failed. Sad, but true.
