He's really not requiring much on the box, an MTA and MySQL. For the use of the machine this may be a genuine requirement as an example we run a ticketing system called WebRT to manage inbound support queries and the like. The requirements for WebRT are an MTA (we use Exim) and either MySQL or PostgreSQL, it's not an unusual combination but again it would depend on the requirement. The other requirements of networking and security are core to virtually any box thats part of a LAN or WAN.
If all else fails I know people who'll set this up in a few hours at a cost of around $500. It's not especially difficult I'm sure someone on the list here could do it for substantially less.
