 * A customer is trying to fill out a CF7 form but gets “There was an error trying
   to send your message. Please try again later” in an orange box. I know the orange
   box means some system thinks she’s a spammer. So I filled out her form for her
   and was able to get it through successfully. So what system thinks she’s spam?
   Is it the WordPress system? Is it my website’s hosting? Is it the email domain
   of the form’s website (in other words, the IT settings of our domain’s email 
   system)? Or is it her internet network?
