I'm not too sure that running it as a mail server is impossible.
I never wrote that it is impossible, only that "I would not use it as an
Internet-facing production Mailserver". That's a huge difference. You
are free to do as you wish, but I still consider it an unsuitable role
for a wee Rasberry Pi, considering the I/O load I see on our production
mail servers. SD-Cards really don't like this sort of thing.

Yea, I was not clear. I'd run the mail-server, on a 'cluster' (4 or
more), not an individual pi-board unless it was beef up, processor and
ram wise. Gig E would also be on my list.
There are also embedded boards, that can run gentoo, with up to 16 Gigs
of DDR4 ram and better internal hardware for threads and such.....
I certainly, did not mean to offend you, so apologies galore. I'm not
into running a mail server for more than a dozen folks and an ity-bity
company of just one....
SD card? I'd find an embedded-board that runs (8Gbyte)DDR4 ram, so
writes to the storage is very fast. It's a bit too detailed to look at
the plethora of hardware available, that one can get for embedded
projects and the matching (sensitive) price points. No need to go there
(its a morass).
thanks,
