 Actually, send-pr(1) already provides this capability, though not via a
 command-line option.  You can either edit its config file, or set the
 MAIL_AGENT environment variable before invoking it.  As seen in
 /usr/bin/send-pr around line 59, the default value for MAIL_AGENT is
 "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t".  I find that adding -froam@ringlet.net to
 the list of options helps sometimes :)
 
 That is, instead of just 'send-pr', run something like:
 
 $ env MAIL_AGENT='/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t -fsobrado@acm.org' send-pr
 
 G'luck,
 Peter

 This will not help software which examines the Return-Path header, e.g.
 for bounces..

 It is a good alternative to new command-line options.  It was all I was
 looking for.  Now I see that this improvement is not really important.
 Can you, please, provide me some feedback about how closing this problem
 report?
 
 Thanks again!!!
 
 Igor.

 that's perfectly true, but you can't change that anyways. for this to be
 changed you must use another MTA if i'm not mistaken (or at least
 another config for your MTA)

 As I wrote in another follow-up message, send-pr(1) already allows you
 to change the Return-Path (or rather, tell your MTA to change the
 Return-Path) via the MAIL_AGENT variable.
