mailbot set 'From: ' and 'To: ' header properly, but not 'Return-Path: '

Assuming that files are owned by unix user 'vmail'
- with "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t" -> "Return-Path: <vmail at mbpgroup.com>"
- with "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f ''" -> "Return-Path:  
<MAILER-DAEMON at mbpgroup.com>"
- with "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f 'ronan at mbpgroup.com'" ->  
"Return-Path: <ronan at mbpgroup.com>"


I'm just after realising that we use virtual mail accounts which is  
probably why we are having this issue. Without the patch, sendmail  
sets Return-Path to the unix owner of the virtual mail accounts.
