This is your opinion. We're not trying to determine if a VM is capable of running *a* mail server. We're trying to determine what the requirements of *his* mail server are, because that drives whether a physical server is required. 

There may be a security requirement such as "no AES key leakage to other tenants". In this case, he may not be able to use a VM. There are people in the crypto community who believe that any system that needs secure crypto should not be virtualized.

Again, I'm trying to gather what the requirements are before stating what the solution is.
