First, I don't know a thing about Mush, so take this with a big caveat
emptor.

I tried to patch submit into the NN mailer (I'm running the same op sys)
and had the same problem.  When I installed Elm 2.3 PL11 I had it use
/usr/lib/mail/execmail.  Maybe you should try that instead of submit. 
It would be a higher level tap into the mail system so it would run
through submit in the long run anyhow.
