Standard call on this - if the data matters to you then you do not put
it on a memory based drive. Personally I would consider the
possibility of a load of mail being queued at the point when the system
goes down and that mail being thus lost forever being too great a risk.
Some of this data can be quite long lived - 10 days in the case of a
recipient host being down, say.
