Congrats and welcome to the club! Running an email server on the internet comes
with some responsibilities so you should understand how it works. See
https://explained-from-first-principles.com/email/ for a thorough explanation.
## What are the minimum requirements to run mox?
Mox does not need much. Nowadays most machines are larger than mox needs. You
can start with a machine with 512MB RAM, any CPU will do. For storage you
should account for the size of the email messages (no compression currently),
an additional 15% overhead for the meta data, and add some more headroom.
Expand as necessary.
