Hiss, boo, evil! Autoresponders should go to the RFC821 sender (what you
are calling Return path) so that they do not go to lists and pollute them.
For human senders, these are probably the same address, which is what you
want. For lists, these are not, which is also what you want.
The reality is just as was suggested: These bounces need to be parsed, so
that auto-responder stuff can be ignored.
