You've already had some useful responses, but I thought I'd throw in my
two cents' worth. I run postfix 2.0.16 + spamassassin on a P120 with
96MB of memory and a 30GB hard disk. I only process mail for 5 user
accounts, amounting to a couple of hundred emails a day max, but the box
copes with this quite ok. The box runs pop3, imap, webmail, and also
does routing, firewalling, and a small amount of webserving.

Cheers,
Adam
