 * CF7 file upload is failing validation when the file is greater than 2 MB in size.
   Using [file file-217 filetypes:mp3] had set limit but it was ignored so it was
   removed from the shortcode to test it hard coded: hard code changed the default
   limit to 4MB but it is ignored: files under 2mb are uploading, those over 2mb
   are rejected for validation error.. anybody have knowledge of this or perhaps
   maybe a fix..?..

 * You should check for upload and email limits imposed by your WordPress hosting.
