 * I really enjoy contact form 7, but a few updates ago you are now using WordPress’s
   api to get a message callback to notify the user the message could be sent.
 * I block/restrict the API on WordPress.
    Therefore I don’t get a message when 
   email is set, just a spinning graphic that goes forever.
 * 1) There have been know security issues with the API, and fixed or not fixed 
   there will probably be more in the future.
    2) I don’t use the API so there is
   no need for it to be active.

 * You should know that every WordPress plugin uses WordPress APIs.

 * It is about REST API. Useless thing causing lot of troubles.

 * No most WordPress plugins do not use the WordPress API, if that were the case
   my security code to block the API would break all the plugins I have on multiple
   sites, and it only breaks Contact Form 7.
