At least 4GB memory, but 8GB or more are preferred. If you need to send out a lot emails in a short period, at least 8 GB is required, 16GB or more are preferred.

The number of mail accounts doesn't matter much, but the mail traffic matters.

What about cpu?
Would be enough 2x cores Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5506 @2.13GHz?

Thank you.
I think 2 cores would be enough
