skip_mail no way out

After upgrading my website to the latest release of wp/wpcf7, some custom functions that I wrote for the older version of the plugin were not working anymore. Thanks to this post i solved most of the issues. Anyhow there is still one related to the skip_mail (i suppose) which is not working (I imagine I am not able to use it properly). This is my code:

/**
* This should skip mail based on the form id
*/
function my_custom_emailing( $wpcf7 ) {
if (( ID1==$wpcf7->id ) || ( YYY==$wpcf7->id )) {
$wpcf7->skip_mail = 1;
}
if ( ID2 == $wpcf7->id ) {
wp_redirect( ‘http://mysampleredirect’ );
$wpcf7->skip_mail = 1;
}
if ( ID3 != $wpcf7->id ) {
return $wpcf7;
}
if ( ID3 == $wpcf7->id ) {
if ( $wpcf7->posted_data ) {
if($wpcf7->posted_data[‘Item’][0]===’Register’) {
$wpcf7->skip_mail = 1;
}
}
return $wpcf7;
}
}
add_action( ‘wpcf7_before_send_mail’, ‘my_custom_emailing’);

/*
* This adds custom recipients based for a given post ID and its parameters
*/
function set_question_form_recipient($components, $form, $object) {

if (ID3 == $form->id()) {

$myStr = array(‘plant1’ => “custom@domain.com”,
‘plantX’ => “sample@mail.net”
);

$submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
$posted_data = $submission->get_posted_data();

if($posted_data[‘Item’][0]===’TVCC’) {
$components[‘recipient’] = $myStr[$posted_data[‘plant’]];
$components[‘additional_headers’] = ‘CC: my, custom, cc, comma, separated’;
}

if($posted_data[‘Item’][0]===’Maintenance’) {
$components[‘recipient’] = ‘customrecipient@sample.net’;
$components[‘additional_headers’] = ‘CC: custom_cc@sample.net’;
}
}

// Return the modified array (not sure if needed)
return $components;
}
add_filter(‘wpcf7_mail_components’, ‘set_question_form_recipient’, 10, 3);

The code works as far as mail should not be skipped, otherwise I receive the standard error message complaining that “there was an error while sending the email”.
This should be due to the recipient not being set up, but I do not need to send the email so no recipient…

I believe that the error is due to the skip_email not being handled properly.

Anyone could point me to the right direction?

Thanks

P.S. sorry if I am reposting this in a dedicated post, but I thought that having posted the issue in a misleading topic, marked as solved, wouldn’t have gained me any reply. I’ve searched across the forum for skip_mail issues but was not able to find a solution (at least I was not able to understand any…)

Time is not on my side, unfortunately. So I had to go on and try to understand how to fix things.
I came out with this solution, after a bit of trial and error, it is not the best one obvioulsy, but it is working as expected. I beg the author of the plugin to please give a bit of support on this. I do not want to mislead anyone.

The below filter looks at the form id and acts consequently. I have a form with three options (checkboxes) which the submitter can choose alternatively. And then I need to send out an email in two cases out of three (need not to send it for a given option), plus I have several other forms for which I do not have to send out email at all.

/**
* $skip_mail is true or false, tells whether to send email or not 
* $wpcf7 is the current form template (not the data sent through it!!!)
*/
function mycustom_wpcf7_skip_mail( $skip_mail, $wpcf7 ) {
	if (( ID1==$wpcf7->id() ) || ( ID2==$wpcf7->id() )) {
		return true;
	}
	
	if ( ID3 == $wpcf7->id() ) {
		// redirect after the form has been submitted
        $wpcf7->set_properties( array(
            'additional_settings' => "on_sent_ok: \"location.replace('http://ID3-REDIRECT//');\"",
        ) );
	}

	//	[.....]
	
	if ( IDN != $wpcf7->id() ) {
		return true;
	}
	
	/*
	    $instance = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
        $posted_data = $instance->get_posted_data();
		** The above two lines of code are equivalent to the following line, but more readable
	*/
	
    $posted_data = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance()->get_posted_data("MYITEM");

	if($posted_data[0]==='MYITEM SPECIAL CONTENT NOT TO MAIL TO') {
		return true;
	}
	return $skip_mail = false;
}
add_filter( 'wpcf7_skip_mail', 'mycustom_wpcf7_skip_mail', 10, 2 );
