   My WP site is hosted in the Amazon cloud and in order to send emails one has to use their SES service (Simple-Email-Service). I'm using the WP-SES plugin, which works nicely.

   However, when the Contact-Form-7 plugin tries to send email it's going straight to /usr/sbin/sendmail, which is not installed nor needed.

   Question: How can I tweak this plugin to send the form-email via SES and the support the WP-SES plugin provides?

   I haven't heard about the WP-SES plugin. Where can I get it from?

   wp_mail() function.

   According to the first QA in the FAQ at http://wp-ses.com/faq.html, it intercepts wp_mail(). So, your plugin *should* work with WP-SES.

   However, my Apache error.log shows that it tries to locate /usr/sbin/sendmail.

   WP-SES's readme.txt says:

   WP-SES redirects All outgoing WordPress emails through Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) instead of local wp_mail function.

   It doesn't intercept wp_mail(). Instead, it does try to replace wp_mail().

   It seems to work now, after a restart.
   Sorry to have raised a false concern.
