I've always wanted to host my own mail but every time I look it up they always recommend like 2GB of ram. I've thought about whether one in D / Rust would be easier to host, but are there any decent libs out there or someone know what mail setup I could have on a simple $5 a month digitalocean VPS?

OP recommendation is minimum 512 MB RAM. Giving it 1 GB for headroom still lets you run on the AWS EC2 Free Tier (i.e. t2.micro instance). Would that work?

If all you want is email (and not owncloud/nextcloud, your own webmail and some other services), 512 MB is plenty. If you can live without antivirus scanning of email you could get away with 256MB.
