That's what makes tempfs so nice.  There is no memory use unless the 
file is committed to disk, and the memory is recovered when the file is 
deleted.

Still, on a loaded server, it wouldn't be surprising for the MD work 
directory to hang around for 10 seconds or so, especially if you use 
the optional "$delay" return value from filter_relay, filter_sender, or 
filter_recipient.
