None of the traditional problems exist when you deploy a Chatmail server and only communicate with other Chatmail users. You don't need any spam filtering as unencrypted emails are automatically rejected. And so you also don't need a "clean" IP address with a good reputation. It will work on anything that can have port 25 open, essentially.
You can run a Chatmail server supporting hundreds to thousands of users on a Rasbperry Pi. Email is very low resource usage because all the services are written in pretty efficient C and were designed in an era when servers had very low resources.
