In that case, exim behaves differently when doing -bf and during an
actual delivery since:

|Testprint: return_path == <canossa-bounce@???>
|Testprint: gf1.lists.canossa
| Deliver message to: mh-lists-mbox@???
| Save message to: mailboxes/gf1.lists.canossa

|Filter processing ended:
| Filtering set up at least one significant delivery or other action.
| No other deliveries will occur.

|mh-lists@torres[25/82]:/mnt/main6/home/mh-lists$

This clearly shows $return_path to contain the <> and the filter rule
to kick in during the -bf run.
