Check what is really in the message.  Some mail programs display the
null address in modified form.

This is valid:         To: undisclosed recipients :;
This is not:           To: <undisclosed recipients>

I hope Cyrus is complaining only about the latter.

When we migrated to Cyrus we wrote a preprocessor perl script that
rewrote certain header lines to make them standard.  The rewritten
mailbox was output to a staging area, and that's what we moved.  This
approach might work for you.
