self mail hosting

[Efraim Flashner]

I have a 256MB modelB with an 8GB SD card and an external harddrive.
Postfix and dovecote don't take a lot of processing power, spamassassin
a bit more, but not so much.  I also have it running deluge, which
crashes a little too often for me, so I have a cron job running to
relaunch it if it crashes.  Fileserving works well.  I tried using it
as a SIP host but something wasn't working so I gave up on that one.  I
also tried owncloud, but it was way too laggy and also prone to
crashing, so I gave up on it also.

I haven't tried running a mumble or irc server, but I'm guessing it
should work.  mpd should work but it isn't something I particularly
need.  With how low the demand is on the server with postfix and
dovecot, I'm assuming that it should be able to run mailman for a
mailinglist easily.
