I have used "https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mailfiltering_Gateway/en" or |
| 2 |
variations of for many years - currently on an lxc instance on a low |
| 3 |
power arm server. Handles 1-200 emails (including spam) a day with |
| 4 |
potentially up to quite a few thousand. I am using the configuration |
| 5 |
without mysql etc. My biggest maintenance on it is trying to keep the |
| 6 |
permissions correct after upgrades etc., otherwise as the families mail |
| 7 |
gateway its quite reliable. |
