  Is it possible to set the Return-path header when sending an email from SQL Server?

  sp_send_dbmail doesn't seem to provide for that although it does provide a parameter for Reply-to.

  You can set the "Reply Email" and "Display Name" attribute in the DB Configuration Wizard, you can also override these settings during the sp_send_mail execution

  The question is about the Return-path which is a different header. After more researching I tend to think it is omitted intentionally since it is supposed to get set dynamically in the dialog between the sender and receiver SMTP servers. The value preset by the sender will be ignored, see
