in reply to Configuring Return-Path with MIME:Lite

Have you tried not setting the return path? I have a couple of applications that use Mime::Lite and I just set the from and it works correctly. The mail we are sending is for domains we do not host.
(email this product to a friend deal) and viewing and replying to the message behaves as you would expect.

    Yes, I did try it without, and in fact the from and reply to work just fine.(with or without) It's more an issue of the "Return-Path". I'm not totally familiar with how the junk mail filters work, but I suspect that some systems compare the domain in the Return-Path with the domain in the From or Reply-To fields in making a determination as to whether or not something is "junk". Thus, from my hosted server, lets say "jupiter.net", mail from my domain my ends up configured as: 
    Return-Path: baseuser@jupiter.net
Reply-To: me@mydomain.com
From: me@mydomain.com
To: you@yourdomain.com

    That said, for some reason this doesn't appear to be the case with all receiving domains. For example, when I send mail from me@mydomain.com to me@seconddomain.com hosted by a different company on a different server, the Return-Path appears as I instruct MIME::Lite to display it. (and vice-versa). However, when I send it to me@pacbell.net or me@aol.com, I can veiw the code and see the the Return-Path is "reverted" back to "baseuser@jupiter.net".
