PCEngines ALIX are relatively cheap and have pretty much zero problems. "Just work<tm>" PCEngines APU are faster and more capable (also support amd64), also pretty cheap. I don't have one but various other developers do. This has had some bios problems but is getting there and has a big advantage of being able to use much better storage (msata ssd) which I think would be useful if you're running mail on it. So you may need to be prepared to flash bios (probably easiest from freedos) and a bit of faff, but should get something working fairly well reasonably soon. armv7 - I think at this point these boards are probably better suited to somebody working on OpenBSD there, rather than on using it as a server.
