You'll get 10 different answers to the distro question. I suggest you
research the individual documentation and packages you need & decide
which is best supported for you application. I have found the major
distros to have the best documentation, and have used RedHat/Fedora for
many years. Debian, Suse, Mandrake, and Gentoo have their stong points
as well. As long as you disable Xwindows, you should be able to setup a
minimal mail-server on that hardware, debian may be your best bet for this.
