open (MAIL, "|$mail_prog -oi -t -f $agent_email");
and don't add a Return-Path header at all. Return-Path is an
informational header added at delivery by the _receiving_ mail server.
You can't manipulate the actual envelope-from by changing/setting it.

Thank you Marc for your explanation. It seems like "Return-Path" is out of my reach. I wanted to see what you guys would suggest as an alternative to controlling bounced emails. We currently get 300-1000 per day. Most of them involve mistyped email addresses that should go back to the agents, so they can fix them.
