Yea, I was not clear. I'd run the mail-server, on a 'cluster' (4 or |
| 16 |
more), not an individual pi-board unless it was beef up, processor and |
| 17 |
ram wise. Gig E would also be on my list. |

|

There are also embedded boards, that can run gentoo, with up to 16 Gigs |
| 20 |
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 |
| 23 |
into running a mail server for more than a dozen folks and an ity-bity |
| 24 |
company of just one.... |

SD card? I'd find an embedded-board that runs (8Gbyte)DDR4 ram, so |
| 27 |
writes to the storage is very fast. It's a bit too detailed to look at |
| 28 |
the plethora of hardware available, that one can get for embedded |
| 29 |
projects and the matching (sensitive) price points. No need to go there |
| 30 |
(its a morass). |
