If you just want a backup MX host, then you don't need much storage.
For USD $3.50 per month, you can spin up a node at lunanode.com and run
your own backup MX.  Despite billing in USD, Luna Node is a Canadian
company with data centres in Toronto and Montreal.

As to why your Postfix is failing, does journalctl offer any hints?  There
must be *something* in the logs.
