it can, but that pc should be reachable via the internet, or you don't
get mails in .

Exim itself does not use much cpu power, if that was your concern.

That depends on how much mail you need to handle.

Exim can be installed on any supported OS, running on any hardware as long
as the hardware meets the requirements for installing "server applications".

Yes. If your PC is fast enough for your traffic needs it will run ok.

If it's a single user, small office or family setup then a PC will be
fine. Probably a raspberry pi with an external disk would even be
sufficient for a single user.

If you're going to do bulk sending you'll discover all the people who
don't like bulk sending. more powerful hardware won't help there.
