As mentioned in another post, the Return-Path header can and usually is
overwritten by sendmail when it does the actual sending.
In addition to a previous suggestion, one way to reliably set that
header is to use phpmailer (http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/) which has
the option of using an smtp server rather than sendmail directly.
