Main issue I have here is your router has a very important job
to do (routing traffic) and you now are asking it to also do a rather
demanding job (mail). If I were in your shoes, I would invest in
either creating a container/virtual host or grabbing something on the
size/cost/power of a raspberry pi and make that the mail server. Now,
even if for some reason the internal mail server gets bogged down,
your router (and connection to the outside and your other internal
devices) will not be affected (in principle, because there is always
DOS). Also, router updates will then be decoupled with the mail server
ones.
Divide and Conquer.
