If you choose your own email address the guest will receive an email confirmation from your email address and you will see sent mails in your outgoing mail folder.
You can use your own email service via SMTP or Mailgun, It is also possible to use both, first we will try your SMTP server and if this fails we will try Mailgun. If both fail, the mail will be sent by the system email server.
