Return-Path problem



I have been Googling, and reading the manual, but I cannot find a
solution for this.  I am a newbie with MUTT, and mail administration in
general.


I have a script that runs the following command:

echo "" | mutt -x -a "+ACQ-MAILMX_ATTACHMENT" -s "+ACQ-MAILMX_SUBJECT"
"+ACQ-MAILMX_TO"


I have added the following 2 lines to my /etc/Muttrc file:

        set hdrs=yes
        my_hdr From: +ACQ-REPLYTO


I now also set REPLYTO in the script I run above, and the e-mails now go
through with the following line in the header of the e-mail:

for example: if REPLYTO is set to dirkm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, then

From: dirkm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



Problem:
--------

When I open the header of the e-mail received, the return-path of the
mail is different from the From: part of the mail.   The return-path is
always set to root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


How can I change this, so that it reflects the same address that is in
the From: part of the e-mail ?




Example of the header:
