I will read up on it.  Thank you for the link.

Not everyone, I think, who visits this list is an engineer.

So it would have been easier to understand if the response had been along the lines of:

"envelope-from" instead of just FROM since there are a number of Froms in the source code.

Someone wrote: "Return-path is a header added by the receiving MTA (usually on final
delivery) that contains the envelope sender (MAIL FROM) used by the
sending system.

Could I respectfully suggest that you read up on the difference between
the envelope sender and the From header, for example here:

The two are not necessarily the same, and in fact in the examples you
showed they were not.
