The Return-Path: header *must* take the address from the "MAIL FROM:" SMTP
command (message envelope). It must not come from anywhere else.

... and the only address that isn't already in the headers (except for
Bcc's, which shouldn't be in the headers), so it is also the only one that
makes sense to add to the headers.

Yes.
