mail relay for local network

[Cedric Malitte]

JF,

Pi is usable to host an dovecot email server, but remember that SD Cards
are not hard drives and tend to fail more often unless you use industrial
grade ones ( do not ask how I know :) )
Or make backups on a regular basis.


For fecthing emails you should look at fetchmail, something like
https://www.linode.com/docs/email/clients/using-fetchmail-to-retrieve-email.
That's another thing, and I'm sure you'll find forums to help you on this.

That said, don't be afraid to try.
I had a dovecot runing on pi with nginx. Really easy to clone to make a
small cluster for testing.
