Is more RAM substantially more expensive? 256 MB is rather meek these days.
With physical servers, one typically gets 16GB or more of RAM these days.
Even a 6-Watt Atom-CPU FitPC box comes with 1GB of RAM! Your machine is
way off the mainstream memory curve... For Postfix alone you're fine, but
for running an IMAP server with users, you are likely too cramped, ask
on the Dovecot list, not here. Postfix is not very memory intensive.
