Accepting mail is independent from running qmail-send. However if you
want remote deliveries still to happen, this is the right way.

Before that step you should set (in login.conf, /etc/profile, ...) the
environment variable MAIL to whatever the location of the incoming Mailbox
file is.
On some systems we use
MAIL=$HOME/Mailbox; export MAIL

Not that I know of. Any name should be fine, als long as the MAIL
variable points to it. We don't have any problems with /bin/mail, pine,
mutt or elm with the above setup.
