 * Hi, I have a site running contactform 7, however the email service is in another
   server. Should I set anything special on the site server to make this plugin 
   work on this case? Because although the emails are working alright, they aren`
   t sent when it is from the contact form 7 forms. Why that? Any idea?
    Thank you!

 * Using external mail services isn’t a problem. If you have set up mail configuration
   correctly (e.g. using an SMTP plugin), Contact Form 7 can send mail through it,
   too. If you can’t make it work, first check if the [Mail tab settings](https://contactform7.com/setting-up-mail/)
   are set up correctly.
