The Bounce Address Doesn't seem to work

I have set up a return path address, but the delivery-failed emails are still coming to the sender address instead.

Here is the screenshot of the sending node settings:

Can you attach the snapshot of the email headers where it shows the return-path?
 
If you look for the return-path in the message source, you'll find that it is your From-Email. If you have return-path enabled and still don't see it in the message source, it means your MTA software is removing the custom return-path when the email was fed to it. To troubleshoot this, you may need to check the configurations of your MTA software to ensure that it preserves the custom return-path settings. Or alternatively, try using another SMTP to find if the custom return-path works.
 
I checked as wel with the server control panel, it's EXIM, not Postfix.
How do you configure Exim to work with return path?
 
I pasted those lines in the Exim Config (Main Section) and it worked. Thank you. Issue solved.

local_from_check = false
local_sender_retain = true
