Certified Hardware
We recommend the following rackmount servers for the use with our Proxmox Mail Gateway. Depending on your e-mail traffic you should choose a server from the list below. Proxmox uses a 2.6.24 Linux Kernel - supporting 99 % of modern and also outdated hardware.
Additionally, Proxmox runs quite acceptable on "OLD" hardware, so maybe you can re-use one of your existing servers or run in your favorite virtual environment.
We got best results with dual quad core Intel Xeon CPU servers and SAS Raid systems.

We recommend server hardware for the use with our Proxmox Mail Gateway. Depending on your e-mail traffic you should choose a suitable server. Proxmox uses a 2.6.27 Linux Kernel - supporting 99 % of modern but also outdated hardware.

Additionally, Proxmox runs quite acceptable on "OLD" hardware, so maybe you can re-use one of your existing servers or run in your favorite virtual environment like VMware, OpenVZ, KVM or Proxmox VE.  You can get best results with dual quad core Intel Xeon CPU servers and SAS Raid systems (with BBU backed up raid controller cache).
