perhaps off-topic: mailserver requirements? (was: Re: experiences with Debian Alpha)

That's an interesting point. Long ago and far away, it used to be a
given that any old x86 box with a big enough disk would be more than
enough to handle just about anything a mailserver needed to do.
Today, however, what with iptables, Spamassassin, clamav, high speed
connectivity, %60 - %85 of traffic being Spam, etc., etc., yadayada,
what does it take to handle mail nowadays? Assume a small to small++
operation (to 150 users).
Just curious; it's been a while since I set one up. Thanks.
