I think before you ask that question, there is something more fundamental
to be considered.
Do you really want to have exim's spool, which contains the queue of
mail-yet-to-be-delivered, on an in-memory filesystem whose contents will
be deleted at system boot (or crash) time?
Or does this mfs have some magic beyond what you've described?
