I've been setting up my new VPS and decided to configure a postfix mail server. I really just need it for one email account on the domain. Holy crap! This thing eats up almost all of my RAM between postfix, amivisd, etc. it is insanity.
I just turned it off. It would be nice to have but can't a basic mail server run in say 128mb ram. Its one mailbox.
Freakin wasted a ton of time just on that too. That is the one thing I forgot about Linux, it is nothing but a huge time sink. Simple things turn into giant fishing expeditions / package dependency problems / etc.
All I'm trying to setup is a web server to host wordpress on main domain, video platform on subdomain, and a mailbox.
