Note that the "MAIL FROM:" SMTP command *is* the "return address", and is
where bounces will go. It is *not* always the same as the "From:" or
"Reply-to:" address in the headers. It is the only address that is to be
used in the Return-Path: header.

That is correct. That's why the "MAIL FROM:" is used for bouncing E-mail.
