Thanks Kayne, Jim and David.
I'm using the ram disk now on Linux (Centos 4.4) and just updated the wiki:

Of course the data in the RAM dir is lost, but will there be a copy in
sendmail spool dir, right?

The contents of the RAM disk are not required for crash-recovery.  If
the power fails a split-second before Sendmail replies "2xx" to the final
dot, then the sending SMTP client will retry.  If it fails just after the
2xx response, then the message should be safely in /var/spool/mqueue.

Regards,

David.
