Return-Path can't be reliably set on the source system; it is commonly set
by the destination system using the value from MAIL FROM obtained during
the SMTP transaction.
You may be better off not using mail() and instead exec'ing a copy of
sendmail (or equivalent) with the "-f" flag (or equivalent). Such as:
sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You can do this in a few different ways, but it's not any different than
opening any other process and piping data to it.
