Found this post very useful. I had a piece of code that, after upgrading my website to the latest wp/wpcf7 (was still using wp<4 and old wpcf7) wasn’t working anymore.

This was the doce:

function my_custom_emailing( $wpcf7 ) {
	$myStr = array('plant1' => "email1",
				   'plantN'	=> 'mailM');
	if (( $wpcf7->id == XXX ) || ( $wpcf7->id == YYY )) {
		$wpcf7->skip_mail = 1;
	}
	if ( $wpcf7->id == ZZZ ) {
		wp_redirect( 'http://mysampleredirect' );
		$wpcf7->skip_mail = 1;
	}
	if ( $wpcf7->id != MYSPECIAL ) {
		return $wpcf7;
	}
	if ( $wpcf7->id == MYSPECIAL ) {
		if ( $wpcf7->posted_data ) {
			if($wpcf7->posted_data['Item'][0]==='Register') {
				$wpcf7->skip_mail = 1;
			}
			if($wpcf7->posted_data['Item'][0]==='TVCC') {
	$wpcf7->posted_data['email_to']=$myStr[$wpcf7->posted_data['plant']];
				$wpcf7->posted_data['email_cc'] = 'my, custom, cc, comma, separated';
			}
	
			if($wpcf7->posted_data['Item'][0]==='Maintenance') {
				$wpcf7->posted_data['email_to'] = "custom_to@domain.com";
				$wpcf7->posted_data['email_cc'] = "custom_cc@domain.com";
			}
		}
		return $wpcf7;
	 }
}
add_action( 'wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'my_custom_emailing');

After reading this post, I changed my piece of code this way

function my_custom_emailing( $wpcf7 ) {
	if (( XXX==$wpcf7->id ) || ( YYY==$wpcf7->id )) {
		$wpcf7->skip_mail = 1;
	}
	if ( ZZZ == $wpcf7->id ) {
		wp_redirect( 'http://mysampleredirect' );
		$wpcf7->skip_mail = 1;
	}
	if ( MYSPECIAL != $wpcf7->id ) {
		return $wpcf7;
	}
	if ( MYSPECIAL == $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');

function set_question_form_recipient($components, $form, $object) {

  if (XXX == $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);

Well, to be honest at least it works, in the sense that emails are being sent once again when needed. But in a particular condition, when mail should be skipped, I receive the standard errr 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 working as expected.

Anyone could point me to the right direction?

Thanks
