The Return-Path header is indeed not touched, and I wasn't able to reproduce this either. But watching what's going over the wire, I see that the SMTP MAIL FROM command is sending this duplicate brackets. Out MTAs seem to be more forgiving though. I got the error if using exim as MTA , with qmail for example imp gave me no errors but the result is the same at the end because you get syntax error from remote smtp that is receiving email. You can try forward to a gmail.com account for example of the syntax error you have in smtp delivery.

And I can verify that IMP sends redirect messages just fine (with no munging of the Return-Path header). No, i'm pretty sure there are problems,. i found that someone else has the same problem (with version 5.0.9) in mailing list: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.horde.imp/28533

The Return-Path header is set by the MTA, not by the client, i.e. IMP. I tried with 4 different MTA and the problem is the same. exim give me this message error in imp when i do redirect: Failed to set sender: <mailname@doman.com> [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 250, response: Reset OK)]

when i choose a message in imp and resent this message with redirect button the email that is generated as a return-path modified that is not valid. Esample: email original return-path: Return-Path: <mailname@domain.com> modified return-path when i sent email with redirect option: Return-Path: <"<mailname"@domain.com> this, of course, cause Syntax Error with almost every smtp you try to deliver the message to.
