It's not a PHP "problem", it's your MTA that does this. But I do think
we should apply my previous patch.

It is noted at php.net/function.mail that the "From:" header is
required.

Your last two are noted in the manual

First big thanks that you did something on my report.
I'm not fluent in the php-manual editing or in english language, but it
works yet a bit different:
"sendmail_from": Which "Return-Path:" mail address should be used in
mail sent from PHP under Windows. (If not set, and From: is given in
$headers, From: gets duplicated as "Return-Path:" as well. If none is
set, mail() does fail. Again, this is for Windows).
Please note at least three points:
- I don't know why Return-Path: seems required by SMTPs, but every
single mail I looked at has it. According to RFC2822, Sender: would be
more required, but it never occurred to me.
- mail() on Windows is entirely different from mail() on Un*x.
- mail() is mainly for beginners like me. Experienced people (like I'll
be, soon) use PHPmailer, and later go for PEAR::mail.
Nevertheless it makes sense to have mail().

I've managed to get my hands on windows machine to verify this.
It is correct, for what ever reason the sendmail_from php.ini directive
is used as "Return-Path" too and it can't be changed via the
additional_headers parameter.
If "From:" header isn't set as additional header the sendmail_from ini
directive is used.
How do you feel about the following patch?

The comment from bjori@php.net does not match what I have observed, in
Windows. I observe exactly the opposite, sentence by sentence.
I looked at the mails produced on the receiver side, of course. Others
have also observed, and reported, that sendmail_from makes the
Return-Path: header.

AFAICT "Return-Path" isn't set by PHP at all unless you specificly put
it in the headers yourself.
The sendmail_from however seems to override (if specified) the "From"
header which either needs to be documented or fixed.
Possible fix: http://php.is/bugs/37122/win32.sendmail.patch.txt
(Reclassified as php bug).
