Well, yeah, except I don't like to reboot too often! :-)  And you really
don't want a ramdisk to fill up.  So if you're paranoid, run this nightly
from cron:

find /var/spool/MIMEDefang -name 'mdefang-*' -type d -mtime +1 -exec rm -r {} \; > /dev/null 2>&1

That deletes any /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mdefang-* directories older than a day.
