The most important option is the From Email setting.

If you're using MachForm Self-Hosted, it's very important to use an email address originating from the same domain as your MachForm location to ensure email delivery.

If you're using MachForm Cloud, it depends on your current plan. If you're on the Small Business or Enterprise plan, you'll be able to customize the From Email setting with any email address.
