Return-Path: is meant to be inserted into the message headers by the sendmail that does final delivery -- it's not something you should set on all of the e-mail you send out. The machinery to handle all this should already be in your sendmail.cf -- if there's a line: H?P?Return-Path: <$g> in the 'Format of Headers' section, then any delivery mailer with 'P' in the F=3D flags (which is the default for the local and prog mailers) will insert the Return-Path: header -- eg. Mlocal, P=3D/usr/libexec/mail.local, F=3DlsDFMAw5:/|@qPSXfmnz9,= S=3DEnvFromSMTP/HdrFromL, R=3DEnvToL/HdrToL, ^^^^ T=3DDNS/RFC822/SMTP, A=3Dmail.local -l These are the default settings, and it would take sufficient effort to generate a sendmail.cf without something like those in it that you would surely remember doing so... See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2821.html, section 4.4 for the chapter and verse about the Return-Path: header.
