Servers that aren't broken, are NEVER supposed to send bounce messages to addresses extracted from rfc 822 headers. Bounces go to the envelope sender address. How you set this depends on how your MUA and MTA interact. Typically an injection program is run that sets this. The default is usually either the current account and host or that set as the user's email address in the email client. The rfc 822 sender header does not set the envelope sender address. It is used when there are multiple from addresses or when the from address is different then the sender.
