It's not the recipient that is the problem. The extra headers work fine for that. It's the delivery and read notifications (recipient's mail server). The From header that is generated by sendmail itself is where I'm getting the problem. If I specify the -f option in the sendmail_path it fixes the problem. Just specifying a "From" header works for the recipients e-mail client, but it doesn't work for their server...I also tried "Content-Disposition-To", "Return-Path" and a few others. All unsuccessfully....
