I've been running from disk, after making a brief attempt at using a RAM 
disk a long time ago and having my system wedge when the disk filled. Is 
that still an issue with the Linux tmpfs?

I checked the /var/spool/MIMEDefang directory to see how much space is in 
use and found the .spamassassin directory used to store system-wide Bayes 
and AWL. Does the RPM still use that directory as the defang user's home 
directory? Might /etc/mail/mimedefang be a better choice for that?
