Specifying Return-path - all student emails from webwork classfified as spam and never recieved

Due to a new antispam system used at our organization email's sent from
WeBWorK with the student's emailadress (e.g. gmail) as "From" will not get
delivered. We have been told that if we can set "Return-path" (also called
"Envelope sender") to the application, e.g., noreply@our.organization.edu,
it will work. Then "From" and "Reply-To" still can be set to the student's
email address so that the teacher can reply to those email's.

Is this behaviour possible to configure in WeBWorK, or is it possible to
patch / modify the email sending functionality to behave like this?
