The trouble is that practically all mailers will write the queue file to
disk before they do *anything* else, for safety reasons. If I
understood the initial message correctly, this is his problem.
I think that qmail, exim and postfix all fall into this category. I
have a feeling that it can be turned off in sendmail, but you'd need to
check.
