I have found the Synology MailPlus Server running on one of their NAS 
boxes to be relatively easy to set up and administer. Included for free 
for up to 5 accounts, it runs Postfix for SMTP, Dovecot for IMAP, has a 
decent GUI for setup, monitoring and other administration, you can turn 
on any/all of the modern spam/virus stuff (DKIM -- outgoing and incoming 
-- DANE, DMARC, SPF, DNSBL, Rspamd, Bitdefender, ClamAV, etc.), and you 
get a NAS/RAID box for other purposes. I also use it as a web server 
(nginx), DNS server, file server, and calendar/address book server 
(though the latter were a bit fussy to set up the way I wanted). And I'm 
running this all on a little DS220+ box with 2 drives. For just a few 
accounts, it's performed just fine.

In any event, MailMate works like a champ with it and I've never had 
problems. YMMV.
