Why load a router with a large heavy application like mail?

Save that request for the day that Mikrotik starts making application servers and don't hold your breath.

While waiting, google postfix, sendmail, qmail, and many more mail servers which work quite well.

I agree. Please focus Mikrotik RouterOS on only router-related functions and features.

Ignoring that RouterOS is a router and not a mail server, I would not run one via metarouter either unless your are running RouterOS x86. The simple fact is that mail servers spend a lot of time writing and deleting data from disk and would quickly trash any sort of flash memory on a RouterBoard.

Well that will be his problem, he ask'd to run a mail server on the board and there is a solution, but yes it is not the best...
