- Why not just set the d:/spool option to the ramdisk, and set the /outbox
- option to a harddrive so it won't default to the ramdisk. There doesen't
- appear to be a way to override the specfic /unbatch, where /unbatch would
- be on the ramdisk and the /batch would be on more permanent media.
- I imagine you'd want this kind of setup rather than chancing outgoing mail
- to a ramdisk that could disappear.
