There's no reason Postfix won't work with /var/spool/postfix mounted from RAM. The standard filesystem(s) used for ramdisks may not work, you may need to pick a real file system like ext3/4, but if you have something you can treat as a block device there should be no technical issues.
Whether you *should* do something like this is an entirely different matter. -- Looking for (employment|contract) work in the Internet industry, preferrably working remotely. Building / Supporting the net since 2400 baud was the hot thing. Ask for a resume! ispbuil...@gmail.com
