You might want to consider a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB RAM and a
case that will support a couple of 2.5in SSD drives.  I'm running
one here with postfix, courier-imap, clamav, amavisd, ...  Mine
is in an Argon One case with single 2TB SSD with a PoE Splitter.
It's running the same email software that we run on CentOS and
AlmaLinux.  Current uptime on out main mail server is 362 days.

This case has space for 2 2.5in SSD drives.

There has been no greater threat to life, liberty, and property
throughout the ages than government. Even the most violent and brutal
private individuals have been able to inflict only a mere fraction of
the harm and destruction that have been caused by the use of power by
political authorities. -- Richard Ebeling
