Add these two lines to your MH profile file:
Alternate-Mailboxes: user@host1, user@host2, ...
repl: -nocc me
The Alternate-Mailboxes also tells scan which messages are really
from you so that it can place the recipient in the scan line instead
of the sender.

To get one copy, you can either:
- Take out the "-nocc me"... then you'll get exactly one copy of
your replies (assuming all your addresses are listed in
Alternate-Mailboxes), or
- (See also "How can I save a copy of all messages I send?").
For more info, see the man pages comp(1), repl(1), forw(1),
dist(1) and mh-mail(5).

Listing the name of a mailing list in Alternate-Mailboxes is also a
convenient way to AVOID automatically cc-ing a mailing list when
replying to a person who sent the message to the mailing-list.

Rather than specify the hostname as part of the mailbox, you can
simply specify the username and it will match on any host:
Alternate-Mailboxes: asriniva
