Why not just put it in the extra headers?

$headers .= "From: $email_address_from_your_database\r\n";

Or you could possibly use ini_set() to change the php.ini setting.

.... and how about this?
$headers .= "Return-Path: $email_address_from_your_database\r\n";
tell me, if it works.

No, I tried this too. Here is what I've tried....

$hdrs = array(
'From' => '"'.$FullName.'" <'.$Email.'>',
'Return-Path' => $Email,
//'From' => $Email,
//'Disposition-Notification-To' => '"'.$FullName.'" <'.$Email.'>',
'Disposition-Notification-To' => $Email,
'Return-Receipt-To' => '"' .$FullName.'" <'.$Email.'>',
//'Return-Path' => $Email,
'Subject' => 'Your Quote # '.$Theresult
);
The commented out ones were also tried....
