The following entry from mh-profile(5) may be of help:
     Alternate-Mailboxes: mh@uci-750a, bug-mh*
		    Tells repl and scan	which addresses	are really
		    yours.  In this way, repl knows which addresses
		    should be included in the reply, and scan knows if
		    the	message	really originated from you.  Addresses
		    must be separated by a comma, and the hostnames
		    listed should be the official hostnames for	the
		    mailboxes you indicate, as local nicknames for
		    hosts are not replaced with	their official site
		    names.  For	each address, if a host	is not given,
		    then that address on any host is considered	to be
		    you.  In addition, an asterisk (`*') may appear at
		    either or both ends	of the mailbox and host	to
		    indicate wild-card matching.  (profile, default:
		    your user-id)

Put an alternate-mailbox entry in your .mh_profile and repl and scan will
hopefully do what you want, if I understood your question correctly.

I am using version MH 6.5Kg #61[UCI] of mh running under HPUX on
HP9000S{300,800} series machines.
