First, let's point out that the proper syntax (1) requires commas
between addressees and (2) requires host names on each addressee.  Thus,
the example should be:

	To: foo: user1@dom.one, user2@some.dom, user3@dom.xxx ;

Having said that, what do you mean by ``get mail groups to work''?  What
do you believe is supposed to happen?  What I believe should happen is
that mail to the above list would be delivered to the three addressees
``user1@dom.one'', ``user2@some.dom'', and ``user3@dom.xxx''.  And, yes,
the addresses are supposed to stay intact in the actual message header
text, though I suppose they wouldn't have to if you wanted your MUA to
remove them.
