Q2:
given the minuscule work-load, is there any preference/preclusion
between employing the 'usual' x86 processor or 2 Arm Ampere
processors? Both offer Linux. Cost is effectively same.
You should check if the software you want to use is available
for the desired platform. Distributions might provide dovecot
packages for ARM while the official dovecot repository might
not. Then you would have to compile the sources yourself.
This ^^^^^. Specifically if you want to run an EL distro there are good
choices that offer ARM support and come with stock postfix and dovecot
packages, but if you want to run the GhettoForge packages (which have
newer versions of Postfix and Dovecot than that offered by the stock
distros) then I'm afraid you're stuck with x86_64 for now. Similarily
you might have issues with other supporting software that is only
available from 3rd-party repos or where 3rd-party repos have newer
versions taht you want to use, but not for ARM.
