Email address in Contact form 7 need to be the same as defined in WP Mail SMTP?

Hi there,

We are using Contact form 7, and since it’s not sending any emails we installed the ‘WP Mail SMTP’ plugin to fix it.
We have a couple of forms, and the email submissions are sending to different people, so the ‘To’ field has different email addresses. Will it still work if the ‘To’ field in the contact form 7 is different from the email address defined in WP Mail SMTP > General > ‘From Email’.
For example, in ‘WP Mail SMTP’ settings, if we used this email address ‘info@example.com’ in the ‘From Email’ + ‘SMTP username’ fields, in Contact Form 7, if we use ‘user1@example.com’ in the ‘To’ and ‘From’ field, will it work?
Or does both the ‘To’ and ‘From’ fields (from contact form 7) should use ‘info@example.com’?
Or the ‘From’ field (from contact form 7) should use ‘info@example.com’ and the ‘To’ field can use ‘user1@example.com’?

I am trying to understand which fields in contact form 7 should be using the email address defined in WP Mail SMTP > General > ‘From Email’, so all my forms work properly.

Thank you!
