Hello forum!
My company ordered me to deploy an MTA as an email relay in the cloud.
Now, RAM is at a premium, so I have to go with an MTA that's light in resource.
Which one do you recommend: Exim or Postfix?

Hi,
I use exim with dovecot, clam and spamassassin and find it very light. Here are the resources currently being used:
| Code: | PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
1005 mail 20 0 64560 1476 716 S 0 0.0 0:00.02 exim |
Obviously this will depend greatly on the number of users that will be connecting. Also, if you were also to setup webmail, roundcube is perfect

for simplicity, especially with a basic mail relay, I tend to opt for Postfix.
light, lean, uber secure, uber configurable, and scales better than anything else out there (IMHO)
