thats what I do. I make /var/spool/MIMEDefang a tmpfs mount. works like a 
charm and was easy as cake.
here's how:
1. make sure tmpfs (former shmfs) support is in kernel
2. add to boot.local (or equiv):
mkdir /dev/shm/var/spool/MIMEDefang
mount --bind -o noatime,nodev,nosuid,defaults /dev/shm/var/spool/MIMEDefang 
/var/spool/MIMEDefang
3. add line to /etc/fstab:
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

reboot and you're golden. (you might need 'chown mdefang:mdefang 
/var/spool/MIMEDefang' as last part of #2
