That's okay, it's sending the mail as if coming from your Apache. But 
ZendTo will put in a From: and a Reply-To: header so that responses from 
users will go to the right places. The "Return-Path" is showing you the 
envelope sender, which is a rather different thing from the "From:" or 
"Reply-To:" headers.
