Hi All,
If you don't expect much load, you can use even an old 486 as a mail server,
even with some antispam capabilities (if you can live with a delay of some
seconds). To note that all the mail of the Computer Science School of the
UPC in barcelona used to live in a 486dx66 with 128mb ram between 1994-1999,
when it was swaped for a PII-350.
