You can set something in your .mh_profile called "Alternate-Mailboxes",
which specifies patterns to math on for addresses.  For example, I
have the line:

	Alternate-Mailboxes: davy@*, *pur-ee!davy, archive, netops, uucp

This makes davy@anything and anything!pur-ee!davy get considered to be
"me".  I also receive mail on the system-wide aliases "archive", "netops",
and "uucp"; this takes those out too so I don't send myself mail.

There are other things you can do with this too (besides using "*"), but
I forget where I found the documentation for it, as I was just perusing
the MH docs at the time.  I know it's in the on-line man pages; maybe
in section 5?
