can someone please recommend a lightweight open source mail server. I'm looking at connecting up my old android phone to a solar charger and running services from it, so whatever i use needs to be small. the phone i have to work with that has 512mb ram. android itself uses around 220-230mb of ram, thats before i go silly on rooting it and removing stuff, not that theres much to remove. -- Kind Regards Rowan Schischka

I use postfix + dovecot for my mail server. It should work without any issues on a machine that has 512MB of RAM. -- Simon

Debian (and I am guessing Ubuntu too, but I might be mistaken in that guess) comes with exim4 by default. I think one can run 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4' to select different mail configurations such as local mail only (which is the configuration installed by a default install of Debian), mail that is popped from and pushed to another mail server (such as from your ISP) and a full-blown mail server config that supports multiple mail accounts/users with its own domain and smtp server.
