OK well here's the answer to this PHP problem.
Do not touch the sendmail config file.
within your httpd.conf file you can add this to every virtualhost section
php_admin_value sendmail_path  " /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
-fcatchall@xxxxxxxxxxxx"

This will solve the return path problem for all the PHP users.
