I think what Fabrice is saying is that specifying the Return-Path header
is an alternative to using the -f switch on the sendmail/qmail-inject
command line. If you provide the Return-Path header to qmail-inject, it
will use the address(es) specified there as the envelope sender, which
is not quite the same as not doing anything. :)

Does the sendmail wrapper ignore Return-Path and instead use
[EMAIL PROTECTED]? Certainly qmail-inject doesn't, but I haven't
experimented with /var/qmail/bin/sendmail to check....

This is true, but only *after* processing it and using it to set the
envelope sender. man qmail-header and see the SENDER ADDRESSES section.
Also, note that the -f option will override this behavior, as will
having an 's' in the QMAILINJECT environment, etc., etc.
