Well, I don't see any solution with PHP because of safe mode restrictions
but... 

one way to avoid sendmail compatible binaries replacing the Return-Path is
to add a php_admin_value to the apache virtual host conf or the global
conf...

For whatever reason it's only changeable in PHP_INI_SYSTEM mode meaning that
it can't be set through a .htaccess file.

But if you ask your ISP nicely, he may change it for you. You can change it
by adding the -f flag to your php sendmail configuration.

php_admin_value sendmail_path "/path/to/virtualhost/smexec/sendmail -t -i
-finfo at domain.com"

Then only Return-Path will be changed, everything else in the header is
untouched.
I've tested this with a sendmail compatible qmail binary.

Although it's a very static configuration, I think this is better than
having the default webserver address in your Return-Path.

Actually I don't understand why the fifth parameter has been disabled in
safe mode. IMHO safe mode should only concentrate on script permission
issues and not how external programs are called.
