Return-path is used by mail daemons, not usually shown in client emails
That's what From or Reply-to is for...
Return-path is valuable for capturing bounces and stuff. I always set
it to a bounce@ alias, and then the From: is always the friendly
"display" address.
I also use popen() to open a connection directly to my sendmail binary
(/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f -i bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) it
seems to act instantly where I've had some oddities with PHP's mail()
in the past.
