Betr.: Idea - everyone duck

[Jerry Benton]

I have already done this:

- added the option to the installer
- created a daemon (not really, but it is set as a service) that saves the Incoming Work Directory on reboot and then restores it when the server comes back up
- sets the correct ownership (user:group) and file permissions of the ramdisk based on MailScanner.conf settings when the server boots up
- the daemon checks to make sure it is a ramdisk before doing any of this
