I'm not familiar with the "._.mail" file?  What is it used for?  Is
it a lockfile?  What sort of locking does your MMDF installation use?

Regarding your second question, you should be ok if you just change
the "/usr/mmdf/bin/submit" in config.h-dist to "/usr/mmdf/submit" in
config.h.  What are the symptoms of mush's failure to communicate with
submit?
