Huh? Return-path is just an optional and usually absent mail header.
Although some MTA's treat it as that, the one and only place where mails
should be returned to (i.e., bounced) is the SMTP envelope sender.
_Requiring_ a return-path (in contract to it being automatically added
by a MTA based on SMTP envelope sender as a convenience for filters...)
just seems wrong to me.
