You just define INTERNET and replies use the From line rather than the Path line. If you have pathalias on your system, you probably have a mailer that is capable of dealing with internet addresses, or can make it happen trivially. The Path line is not intended for replies, it's intended to keep articles from looping around the network. The fact that it's being used for replies just means that people don't have routing software.
