set the envelope sender. if your PHP calls sendmail, then see the "-f"
flag in the sendmail doc. if it uses SMTP, then use the "MAIL FROM" command.

don't play with headers. Headers are not to be used for mail routing.

As the cited text says: the return-path header is added at final
delivery. don't play with that. What you need is the envelope sender.

with sendmail, it's the "-f" flag:
# sendmail -f foo(a)example.com ....

with SMTP? it's the "MAIL FROM" command.
