Is this any help?

  With either of the following solutions, you'll need to add an
  Alternate-Mailboxes entry in your MH profile so that scan prints
  "To: recipient" rather than your faked address.  For example, if
  your real address is wohler@gbr.newt.com and you've added a From
  field of:

        From: Bill Wohler <bill.wohler@newt.com>

  you'll add the following to .mh_profile:

        Alternate-Mailboxes: bill.wohler@newt.com

From: Bill Wisner <wisner@netcom.com>

  If you're just interested in changing the hostname, add a line to
  $MHLIB/mtstailor (mts.conf in nmh):

        localname: desired_host_name
