What's the best way of adding this to the init.d script? (or 
check_mailscanner)
If /dev/shm exists will it always be used as a tmpfs dir? It would be 
simpler than remounting /tmp, which most users don't do. Personally I 
think /tmp should always be tmpfs, like Solaris does.

So just this:

if [ -d /dev/shm ]; then
    TMPDIR=/dev/shm
    export TMPDIR
fi

in check_MailScanner should do the trick nicely, shouldn't it?
The init.d scripts call check_MailScanner, so there's only 1 place to be 
modified.
