> What do you mean that the spamfilter software takes 12 gigabytes of ram, 4 CPU cores, and 35 GB of local space in order to work?

What software needs that? Mail in a box seems much lower for the whole stack: https://mailinabox.email/guide.html#machine

The whole thing is talking about the fediverse. Presumably if you wanted to set up a server of your own on there and run a spam filter it would need to be so large.
