Might be worth talking to @mailcheap depending on if you'd rather manage your self or make it someone else's problem.
I think for that storage at a reasonable price, with the rest of the specs hitting reasonable levels for the job, an OVH dedi is going to be the least expensive route. Frankly, if you get 4TB of storage on one, you'll have the other specs needed. I'd start here:

I'm eyeing the EG-16 for your needs.
We can offer 4 TB storage (RAID protection w/ offsite backups) with Ultimate plan for $129/mo. The savings that would be made after buying an EG-16 for $79 and then figuring out some other solution for offsite backups would be very minimal; not to mention the time you would have to spend setting up/managing it.
Comes with Webmail, Calendar (CalDAV), Contacts (CardDAV) and ActiveSync support based on SOGo as standard.
Please see product page, features and infrastructure for more information.

Strongly suggest an email provider. Running your own mail server is getting harder and harder if you care about deliverability.
I strongly suggest you to go with @Mailcheap As the managing part and other there
My reason for suggesting @mailcheap is HA and backups with great delivery of your emails. And you get a great team if there is a problem like SPAM,Missing mails and other
If you still want dedicated server OHV as our email GOD says
Remember that you get a person to shout at when things go south
Indeed it's easy enough to setup you own mail server from the point of view of installing an appropriate software stack. (Whatever your preferred setup is)
I used to host my email on zimbra FOSS + Z-push a few years back and when it worked it was fine, but then I got a raid controller problem that caused the machine to crash.
Didn't lose any email but having an 8 hour + outage because I wasn't available to fix it right away made me realise how important working email was to me. Also I ended up working at it on an off whilst at my dayjob which looking back I'm lucky it didn't get me into trouble.
If my website dies, I couldn't really care, but if email goes down for any length of time it gets extremely inconvenient extremely quickly.
Ran Zimbra FOSS for a few years. It was garbage. Mailcow is working great for me and my business customers.
What didn't you like about it? I ran the paid version at a previous job, and I was very happy with it.
Stability wasn't that great on a decent volume mailserver. Not to mention Java.
Its a mess but It has some features that are not available in other like forwarding incoming mails to bunch of other IDs calendar sync that works in Mac and Windows distribution lists and more
I prefer mailcow over any other
+1. I never mention that thing in a polite society too. It just feels rude all around.
Yeah try to do something as simple as an alias for new-orders@ going to alice@ bob@ and charlie@
Zimbra can't do it FOSS, but Mailcow can.
Please tell that to people who make the KVMoIP in the IPMI's
It would be a distribution list and pretty sure zimbra FOSS could indeed do it.
That's exactly what it was. Zimbra uses Postfix for it's MTA, and it doesn't restrict any of the features. The paid version has extensions like ActiveSync, MAPI, LDAP/AD support, and other things related to HA and backup, but nothing as basic as a distribution list was stripped out of the FOSS version.
Why is there always somebody who says something like this? Are you sure or pretty sure you're talking out of your ass? I'm sure this feature isn't in FOSS. Enjoy being "pretty sure" (not sure)
It was present in Version 6.x
https://www.zimbra.com/docs/os/6.0.10/administration_guide/Managing_Accounts.09.3.html
And it looks like it's still present in 8.6.x
https://www.zimbra.com/docs/os/8.6.0/administration_guide/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=860_admin_os.Work_with_Distribution_Lists.html
It was a few years ago so I didn't want to say 100% that i'd been using it as I might have been mis-remembering (I believe I was using v7.x and then 8.0.x)
These are the docs specifically targeting the FOSS edition.
