The lightweight IDE machine somebody else mentioned would do just
fine.
10.000 messages is about one every six seconds on average. My old
486sx25 with 24mb of ram did mail a lot faster than that (it got mail
in bursts because I dial in). Only thing you might worry about is
storage for the mail, but just space-wise. A simple IDE disk can do it
just fine performance-wise.

(this old 486sx25 had a 318MB SCSI-I disk that was dead slow. It never
showed problems tho, performance wise).
