[NTLUG:Discuss] Return-Path header

i have several cgi programs that invoke sendmail to send emails to both 
individuals and lists.

since these are run by the webserver's uid, the Return-Path header generated by 
sendmail is <nobody at ....>.

what i really want is to be able to set Return-Path so that undeliverable mail 
is returned to an address specified by the customer that 'owns' the program.

i tried explictly adding a Return-Path header into one program and sent out a 
few test emails. no dice.

i'm a total sendmail configuration dummy. the bat book might as well have been 
written in sanskrit. it is totally undecipherable.

does anyone have an idea of who i might be able to tell sendmail to honor a 
Return-Path header if it's already defined in a message?

thanks.......
