If it's going to act as an MTA, I'm pretty sure it's an RFC violation
(in spirit if not in letter) to use a volatile RAM disk instead of a
hard drive.

Granted forwarding usually goes fast on a low traffic server, but
spooling can happen for a number of reasons. If your machine B
accepts mail from A to C because C is offline, it is now the only
machine responsible for making sure that message gets to C. A power
failure now causes mail loss.

So I'd put a little hard disk in there and add the hdsupp.lrp, then
mount that disk as your mail spool.
