And that's what the "-f $agent_email" does. It sets the envelope sender
of the mail. Return-Path: is _not_ what is used to route bounces,
envelope sender is. Return-Path: is just added to the mail by the
recieving mail server to help the user see where a bounce would have
gone to. See RFC 2821 section 4.4 for more information:

BTW, thanks for not top posting, but please remember to trim your
quotes, as well. It looks like you're using Outlook; setting the option
to mark quotes using the standard ">" character would be helpful as well.
