That's not much of a load, if all it has to handle in inbound mail and pop.
Any P4 will do, even a fast P3. Don't over buy on the processor, save the
money for mirrored disks (raid). 512meg of memory should be plenty for
the work load you would have.
You do intend to run Amavisd or some virus scanner on it don't you?
