Hi, Patrick - I'll chip in with my usual caution of: Be careful! Doing this will invalidate any digital signatures that the incoming message has been signed with.
If you're planning to do this only for locally originated messages being created by MUAs, or for messages for local delivery that have already passed your anti-spam measures, then you might get away with it. But if they're messages your other MTAs have created and signed, or are messages you might be forwarding on to one of your user's onward addresses, then you're going to cause problems — by breaking its digital signature you could make the onward copy undeliverable as many sites check DKIM signatures now as they receive an email.
