Is there no way to somehow rewrite it instead of removing it fully ?
 
I know its better to fix GroupWise, I've been *trying* to get it fixed really 
hard for a few weeks now, but trying to get Novell to move a little is like 
trying to fight a major house fire with just a supersoaker ..
I need a temporary solution because people are starting to get really annoyed 
by their e-mail not getting where it should be. The ISP in question does not 
give a valid error and e-mails just vanish into thin air when they're sent 
there.

You'll need to fix this on the groupwise server.

RFC822 header syntax is quite complex.  I don't think it's 
possible to create a regular expression that correctly handles 
and fixes every case, especially with multiple addresses in a 
header.

If you must fix this in postfix, your best choice is probably 
to just remove the header with IGNORE.

# header_checks
/^(To|CC): .*;1:1/ IGNORE

Postfix will then insert the undisclosed_recipients_header in 
the message.

This is a very ugly solution.  Better to fix groupwise.
