Return-path email header

    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
