      Description

      When having Outbound Mail Settings set to "Sendmail" the emails received in mass emailings have two return-paths, with one of them being equal to the bounce email box and the other equal to the from address. When the setting is changed to SMTP, then again there are two return-paths in the message, but both are the bounce return path.

      My mail server uses Qmail and is on a different server than civicrm. The sendmail on the civicrm server is sSMTP. It is, of course, quite possible that the issue is in sSMTP instead of civicrm.

      It seems odd that there are two return paths being made.

      Headers when set to "Sendmail" (I've replaced .net and .sk in email addresses here to prevent spam harvesting...)
